Add the following method to the Point class:

public double slope(Point other)

Returns the slope of the line drawn between this Point and the given other Point. Use the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) to determine the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Note that this formula fails for points with identical x-coordinates, so throw anIllegalArgumentException in this case.

public class Point {
    private int x;
    private int y;
    
    // your code goes here
    
}

我的答案： 

public double slope(Point other){
        if (other.x == x) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException();
        }else{
            return (double)(other.y - y)/(other.x - x);
        }
}

这样也能最后得到诸如0.5的结果
