\n" ); document.write( "Hi,
\n" ); document.write( "Note: Given two ordered pairs (x,y) one can determine the slope of the line passing thru those two points
\n" ); document.write( "by using the definiton of what the slope is:
\n" ); document.write( "The (change in y-values)/(change in x-values)
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "(5,8)
\n" ); document.write( "(0,1) given these two Points, \"m+=+%288-1%29%2F%285-0%29+=+7%2F5\" \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
