Calculate $\"f%282%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"f%282%29=2%5E3-3%282%29%2B3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Calculate $\"f%283%29\"$ similarly.
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have two points, ( $\"2\"$ , $\"f%282%29\"$ ) and ( $\"3\"$ , $\"f%283%29\"$ ).
\n" ); document.write( "Use the formula for the slope (gradient) of the line connecting the two points,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%28f%283%29-f%282%29%29%2F%283-2%29=f%283%29-f%282%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
