Article: Slope is defined as “rise over run,” with rise indicating vertical distance between two points, and run indicating the horizontal distance between two points. These can be any points the line runs through.  You can also use this method if you are given two points on the line, without having the line graphed in front of you. Coordinates are listed as (x,y){\displaystyle (x,y)}, with x{\displaystyle x} being the location along the x, or horizontal axis, and y{\displaystyle y} being the location along the y, or vertical axis. For example, you might choose points with coordinates (3,2){\displaystyle (3,2)} and (7,8){\displaystyle (7,8)}. One point will be point 1, and one point will be point 2. It doesn’t matter which point is which, as long as you keep them in the correct order throughout the calculation. The first point’s coordinates will be (x1,y1){\displaystyle (x_{1},y_{1})}, and the second point’s coordinates will be (x2,y2){\displaystyle (x_{2},y_{2})} The formula is riserun=y2−y1x2−x1{\displaystyle {\frac {rise}{run}}={\frac {y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}}}. The change in y-coordinates determines the rise, and the change in x-coordinates determines the run.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Understand the slope formula. Pick two points on the line and label their coordinates. Determine the order of your points. Set up the slope formula.

Problem: Article: Pour your washed and pitted cherries into a storage bag or glass jar, leaving at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the top for the syrup. If you don’t, there might not be enough room for the syrup to cover all of the cherries. Wait for the syrup to cool before adding it to the cherries. Once you’ve opened the bag or jar, pour the syrup into the container so that all of the fruit is completely drenched and the bag is almost completely filled with syrup. Leave about 0.5 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) of space at the top of the container so you can seal it without any syrup spilling over. Be sure to seal the bag or jar so that no air or moisture can get in. Place a label on the storage container before placing it in the freezer so you can remember how fresh the fruit is. While you don’t have to use the cherries right away, try and eat them within a year. If you wait too long, the fruit might not be as fresh. Use freezer-safe tape to label your cherry containers.
Summary: Place cherries in a freezer-safe jar or bag. Pour the cooled syrup into the bag so all of the cherries are covered. Freeze and use the cherries within 12 months.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You should only use an unlocking service if your carrier refuses to unlock your phone. Reputable services include "Free Unlocks" and "CellServices (around $20), as well as UnlockBase (around $10).  This menu contains information about your carrier (e.g., Verizon or Sprint), your phone model number, and your IMEI number. The unlock service will need this International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number in order to issue a code to you. The unlock service should not ask you for personal information such as your home address. You may have to enter your phone number and name as it appears on your contract. Most unlocking services support PayPal--your most secure option--in addition to standard Visa cards. If you want to use PayPal but don't have an account, set one up for this transaction. Most services will send you your code within an hour, though some take as long as three business days. Most unlock services will tell you approximately how long you'll be waiting for the unlock code on their website. You will need to enter this number into your phone after installing a new SIM. To activate the unlock code input, you'll need to replace the current SIM. You can find SIM cards at their respective carrier stores (e.g., a Sprint SIM card would come from a Sprint store). Turning off your phone will prevent the SIM card from being damaged when you remove it. It should be located on the side of your phone, on the same side as the Power button. The SIM card tray should slide out.  Your card removal tool should have come with your phone, but you can also (gently) use a bent paper clip for this step. Your service provider can also open your SIM slot for you. Set it aside in a safe place, such as a plastic bag. It should only fit one way, with the gold strips pointing down (away from the screen side of the phone). This should turn your phone back on.  Your phone may reboot after this point. If you switched from AT&T to Verizon, for example, the service provider name in the information bar at the top of your screen should say "Verizon" instead of "AT&T".

SUMMARY: Ask your carrier if your phone is eligible for a free unlock. Search for "HTC phone unlocking service". Open your "Settings" menu. Select the "About Phone" tab, then open "Phone Identity". Scroll down to find your IMEI number, then write it down. Enter your IMEI number and email address into the unlock service's site. Purchase your code using a secure payment method. Check your email for an unlock code. When you receive your unlock code, write it down. Purchase a SIM card for your new network. Hold down the power button, then select the "power down" option. Find the SIM card access slot. Insert your card removal tool into the hole next to the slot. Remove the old SIM card from the tray. Insert your new SIM card into the tray. Hold down the power button. If you have a SIM pin number, enter it now. Enter your unlock code. Confirm that your unlock was successful.

Your stomach growling is caused by your digestive system doing what it’s supposed to do: mixing food, fluids, and gastric juices and pushing them through the intestinal tract. The rumbling occurs when the walls of your gastrointestinal tract contracts and relaxes to squeeze everything through the intestines. Even with a proper diet, growling is bound to happen sometimes and is no reason to be embarrassed. When you eat too much food, it will put your digestive system into overdrive. The growling can occur more often when this happens, because there is more to move through the intestines. When your stomach has been empty for two hours, the growling sounds louder. This is because there is little or nothing in the stomach to absorb or muffle the noise. When you go hours without eating, your body releases hormones that let the brain know it’s time to clear anything left in the stomach to make room for whatever food is to come.  Have small, healthy snacks with you at all times. Constantly hydrate yourself with liquids. Use water, juice, tea, etc. Certain carbs are resistant to digestion. Don’t avoid carbs completely because they help supply you with energy and play a main role in the health of your digestive tract. Simply eat them in moderation to keep your stomach healthy but less likely to growl.  Resistant starch: potatoes or pasta that has been cooled after cooking, sourdough bread, and unripe fruit. Insoluble fiber: whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, cabbage, lettuce, and bell peppers Sugar: apples, pears, and broccoli Remember that growling can happen both when you’ve just eaten and when you haven’t eaten in a while. To avoid over-eating and excessive stomach growling, know when you’re actually hungry. Learning the timing scheme your normal eating regimen is the best way to keep track and avoid mindless eating. People who swallow a lot of air usually experience more stomach growling than others. If you eat too fast or talk a lot while eating, you are likely swallowing a lot of air. Eat more slowly to avoid this.
