slope is %28y1-y2%29%2F%28x1-x2%29+=+%28%281%2F4%29-%283%2F2%29%29%2F%283-%281%2F2%29%29
...
1%2F4+-+3%2F2+=+1%2F4+-+%283%2F2%29%282%2F2%29+=+1%2F4+-+6%2F4+=+-5%2F4
...
3+-+1%2F2+=+3%282%2F2%29+-+1%2F2+=+6%2F2+-+1%2F2+=+5%2F2
...
%28-5%2F4%29+%2F+%285%2F2%29
knowing dividing is the same as multiplying the inverse
%28-5%2F4%29%282%2F5%29+=+-2%2F4+=+-1%2F2
...
slope is highlight_green%28-1%2F2%29
