Slope of the line when two points are given can be found using the formula\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Slope is given by Rise / Run\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m = (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1) where the two given points are taken as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here points are (5, 3) and (3, 5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so slope m = (5 - 3)/(3 - 5) = 2/-2 = -1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The slope is actually the inclination of the line with the positive direction of x axis.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By undefined slope we mean that the line is perpendicular to the x axis\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this is clear to you.\r
