\"+-4y+%2B+7+=+11+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-4y+=+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+-1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "No matter where you move along this
\n" ); document.write( "line, \"+y+\" never changes. It is
\n" ); document.write( "always \"+-1+\".
\n" ); document.write( "( 3, -1 ) and ( 12,706, -1 ) are both
\n" ); document.write( "points on this line.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The only way this can happen is if
\n" ); document.write( "the line is horizontal, so the slope
\n" ); document.write( "is [ change in y ] / [ change in x ] and
\n" ); document.write( "[ change in y ] is always \"+0+\",
\n" ); document.write( "so slope = \"+0+\"\r
