Simulates an "oblique" random variable, between a and b, the straight line having a given slope, m. The slope must be |m| ≤ 2 ⁄ (b − a)² (as probability cannot be negative). The 'pdf' is, thus, y = p + m (x − a), with m = (q − p) ⁄ (b − a) . So, y(a) = p and y(b) = q .

A plot is shown for the simulated f, and for F, the simulated 'cdf'.

Other suggested data: vary slope.
