Slope of a Line

In this sketch you can set the line, and pick any two points on it. The computer will calculate the rise over run for those two points.

Addresses GLCE A.PA.07.06: Calculate the slope from the graph of a linear function as the ratio of "rise/run" for a pair of points on the graph, and express the answer as a fraction and a decimal; understand that linear functions have slope that is a constant rate of change.
