The problem is there is no 'slope'  Having a slope implies that you have something you can graph on an xy plane (or perhaps a py plane in this case), but this means that you have to have both an independent variable, p, in this case, AND a dependent variable, perhaps y, that is missing from your equation.  You need to restate your question. </SPAN>\n" );
