Slope Calculator

Find the slope of a straight line through two points, the rise divided by the run.

—

Formula

Slope = (y2 − y1) ÷ (x2 − x1), the change in y divided by the change in x.

How it works

Enter two points. The calculator subtracts the coordinates, then divides the vertical change by the horizontal change. A vertical line has no defined slope.
