Slope Formula

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

The slope measures the steepness and direction of a line. It is calculated by dividing the change in y-values (rise) by the change in x-values (run).

Example Calculation

Input: Point A (2, 3), Point B (6, 11)

Output: m = (11 - 3) / (6 - 2) = 8 / 4 = 2

Frequently Asked Questions

What is slope?

Slope measures the steepness and direction of a line. It represents how much the y-value changes for every unit change in the x-value.

How do you calculate slope?

Slope is calculated by dividing the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates between two points.

What does a positive slope mean?

A positive slope means the line rises from left to right.

What does a negative slope mean?

A negative slope means the line falls from left to right.

What is an undefined slope?

A slope is undefined when the x-coordinates are equal, creating a vertical line.

Is this Slope Calculator free?

Yes. You can calculate slopes between points unlimited times for free.
