Ok.. I got you there. I should have known I had to do the calculating and whatnot ..
Still doesn't work, but a hell of a lot closer than where I was.
Here it is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
print "You can solve the y-y=m(x-x) equation with this program. \n";
print "Enter y variable. \n";
my $yval = [STDIN];
print "Enter slope. \n";
my $slpe = [STDIN];
print "Enter x variable. \n";
my $xval = [STDIN];
$xvxsl= "$xval * $slpe";
$yvpxxs= "$yval + $xvxsl";
print "Step one: y-$yval=$slpe x- $xvxsl \n";
print "Step two: y-$yval+$yval=$slpv x - $yvpxxs \n";
print "Answer: y= $slpe x - $yvpxxs \n";
Got a bunch of errors, says that I need an explicit package name
on lines 21-29. Any help would be appreciated
