You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Think of the slope as $\"slope=rise%2Frun\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So in this case, ths slope (m) is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=9.75%2F17.24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Dividing this out, you get;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=0.5655\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Rounding to the nearest hundredth gets you:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28m=0.57%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "====================
