Find the slope of the line through (0,6) and (8,0).

\r\n" );
document.write( "No you're not stuck, you have the answer, \r\n" );
document.write( "except you need to reduce the fraction \r\n" );
document.write( " to .  That is the \r\n" );
document.write( "slope of the line, \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The negative sign tells us that the line slopes\r\n" );

document.write( "slide down the line to the right, we would move downward \r\n" );
document.write( "only 3/4 as fast as we would move to the right:\r\n" );
