Problem with a slope

Hi,
Why does the slope result I get from these two points is opposite?
Code:
clc;
clear;
figure, imshow('pout.tif');
b1 = impoint(gca,[]);
b2 = impoint(gca,[]);
pos1 = getPosition(b1);
x1=pos1(1,1);
y1=pos1(1,2);
pos2 = getPosition(b2);
x2=pos2(1,1);
y2=pos2(1,2);
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1);
plot([x1,x2 ],[y1,y2],'Color','r','LineWidth',2);

Maybe you should write
slope = ((y1-y2)/(x2-x1))
You can notice that the origin is not in the left bottom, but in the left top corner. check it with
x1
x2
y1
y2

The direction can be changed with set(gca,'YDir','reverse'). Or maybe it already is since that's what imshow does. In that case, try set(gca,'YDir','normal').
