Slope Calculator

'Cuemath's Slope Calculator' is an online tool that helps to calculate the slope for given coordinates. 

What is Slope Calculator?

Cuemath's online calculator helps you to calculate the slope in a few seconds.

How to Use Slope Calculator?

Please follow the steps below to find the slope:

• Step 1: Enter the coordinates of x and y in the given input box, i.e., (x₁,y₁)  and (x₂,y₂).
• Step 2: Click on the "Calculate" button to find the slope. 
• Step 3: Click on the "Reset" button to clear the fields and find the slope for different coordinate values of x and y.

How to Find Slope?

The slope is defined as the ratio between a change in one variable relative to a corresponding change in another.  The slope can be either positive or negative. and it can also be defined as the change in the ratio of y-coordinates and x-coordinates.

Standard form for the slope: slope = change in y variable/change in x variable = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Solved Example:

Find the slope if the coordinates are (5,2) and (7,8).

Solution:

slope = change in y/change in x

= (y₂- y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (8 - 2) / (7 - 5)

=6/2

=3

Similarly, you can try the calculator to find the Slope for the following: 

a) (5,2) (6,2)        b) (-5,2) (6,5)      c) (6,-5) (7,-8)
