document.write( "I realize to have an undefined slope I need a number with 0 as the denominator but am having a hard time setting it up. I know I need to use m = y2-y1/x2-x1 so I have 5-3/-5-d put to turn it into an equation where I can cross multiply I'm stuck. So I'm stuck at 2/-5-d=x/0 but can I just put any number over 0 rather than x? \n" );
