`qNote that there are four questions in this assignment.

`q001. Recall the stock value problem, where March, July and December values were $5000, $5300 and $5500.

Construct a graph of stock value vs. number of month (e.g., 1 for Jan, 2 for Feb, etc.). You will have three points on your graph, one corresponding to the March value, one to the July value, and one to the December value. Stock value will be on the y axis and month number on the x axis. Your first point, for example, will be (3, 5000), corresponding to $5000 in March.

Connect your three points with straight lines--i.e., connect the first point to the second and the second to the third.

What is the slope of your line between the first and second point, and what is the slope of your line between the second in the third point? Recall that slope is rise / run.
