How it works
m = (y₂ − y₁) ÷ (x₂ − x₁); b = y₁ − m·x₁How to use the Slope
Enter the requested values and start with one realistic example. Read the result together with its unit or label, then change one input at a time if you want to compare options.
Review the assumptions on the page and confirm any result that affects money, safety, technical work or another important decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the slope between two points?
Divide the change in y by the change in x: between (1, 2) and (5, 10), m = (10−2)/(5−1) = 2. A positive slope rises left-to-right; negative falls.
What does an undefined slope mean?
The two points share the same x value, so the line is vertical and the rise-over-run division would divide by zero. Its equation is x = constant.
How is slope related to angle?
The angle of incline is arctan(m): a slope of 1 is 45°, a slope of 2 is about 63.4°. Road grades quote slope as a percentage (m × 100).
