I see.  Arguably both are implicit promotion, though, no?

Mathematiconceptually, "x2 as a double minus x1d" and "y2 as a double 
minus y1d" are the values one would associate with a slope calculation, 
type promotion semantics aside.

But, both are correct so I'm happy with either way that you are 
comfortable maintaining the code...
