FAQ – Slope Calculator
What is the slope of a line?
The slope of a line represents the steepness or incline of the line. It is calculated by the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates between two points on the line. Formula: m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)
How do I use the Slope Calculator?
To use the Slope Calculator, enter the x and y coordinates of two points on the line, and click “Calculate Slope” to get the slope. The calculator will compute the slope using the formula m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1).
What is the significance of the slope?
The slope of a line is important in understanding the relationship between two variables. A positive slope means the line rises as you move from left to right, while a negative slope indicates the line falls. A slope of zero represents a horizontal line, and an undefined slope corresponds to a vertical line.
