Two points determine a line, so they determine the
\n" ); document.write( "slope of the line
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29+%2F+%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "Let (4,5) = ( $\"x%5B2%5D\"$ , $\"y%5B2%5D\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "Let (-1,0) = ( $\"x%5B1%5D\"$ , $\"y%5B1%5D\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+%285+-+0%29+%2F+%284+-+%28-1%29%29\"$
