We were given two points so we're set there now we just need to find the slope of the line between the two given points.  The formula for the slope of a line is <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.
