slope = ( change in $\"y\"$ ) / ( change in $\"x\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "P1 = ( -10, -10 )
\n" ); document.write( "P2 = ( -7, 5 )
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "The format of this is:
\n" ); document.write( "P1 = ( x1, y1 )
\n" ); document.write( "P2 = ( x2, y2 )
\n" ); document.write( "The formula then is:
\n" ); document.write( "slope = $\"+%28+y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D+%29+%2F+%28+x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let slope = $\"+m+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+m+=+%28+5+-%28+-10+%29+%29+%2F+%28+-7+-%28+-10+%29+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+m+=+%28+5+%2B+10+%29+%2F+%28+-7+%2B+10+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+m+=+15+%2F+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+m+=+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
