HTML/Javascript Canvas Slope of a Line Primer Tutorial
The Canvas HTML element tag can be used as the container to draw graphics on the fly usually via the use of Javascript functions for rendering and event management.
In today’s tutorial we mainly use the lineTo function to create a webpage where you can draw lines on a canvas and determine the slope of that line.
In trigonometry (and Land Surveying) the slope of a line is of great interest. Pretty obviously water doesn’t do very well flowing up against gravity (even with a stern talking to), so the Land Surveying skill called levelling is all about determining between two points what is the difference in the Z co-ordinate. Take a ratio of what this change is compared to the horizontal distance between those two points is on a horizontal plane (maybe known via a previous survey traverse, or the one you did before or after the levelling … though it may be these days that geolocation can help with the (X,Y[,and perhaps the Z]) of these issues, to the point that flying crumbs from your “making breakfast in bed web application”, can be tracked and identified), and you have a measure of slope (up or down the proverbial hill or molehill). Quite often in mathematics, or geometry, we are interested in the 2D horizontal plane only, and describe the slope as the ratio between change in the Y co-ordinate over a change in the X co-ordinate (being careful to reference what is the first point and what is the second).
And so today, we show you a web application exploring that …
Slope = (Y2 – Y1) / (X2 – X1)
… concept that you can also read about at Mathwords … thanks, heaps.

As you can imagine, this HTML canvas element, new to HTML5, can be very useful for some practical client-side web functionality.
Here is a link to some downloadable HTML programming code … rename to slope_of_a_line.html

I relish, lead to I found exactly what I was having a look for. You have ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day. Bye
You completed a number of fine points there. I did a search on the theme and found nearly all folks will go along with with your blog.
