You can put this solution on YOUR website!

\n" ); document.write( "Start at (4,3). Move down 5 units and then move to the right 3 units to arrive at (7,-2). This is one possible location of point B if we use integer or whole number coordinates for x and y. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Repeat the action of \"move down 5, move to the right 3\" to go from (7,-2) to (10,-7) which is one more possible location for point B. This process can be repeated as many times as you like so there are infinitely many answers. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here is the graph to visually summarize whats going on
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The point B could be at \"B%5B1%5D\" or it could be at \"B%5B2%5D\", etc etc.
\n" ); document.write( "A single straight line goes through points A, \"B%5B1%5D\", \"B%5B2%5D\", ...\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "side note: the slope is equal to the rise over the run, ie,
\n" ); document.write( "slope = rise/run
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -5/3
\n" ); document.write( "rise = -5
\n" ); document.write( "run = 3
\n" ); document.write( "The negative rise value tells us that we're moving downward as we move from left to right\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can also think of rise and run as
\n" ); document.write( "rise = change in y = change in vertical direction
\n" ); document.write( "run = change in x = change in horizontal direction\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
