How is it calculated?
m = (y₂ − y₁) ÷ (x₂ − x₁)
d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)
A positive slope rises from left to right; a negative slope falls. A slope of 0 is a horizontal line.
Slope calculator
Enter two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂). You get the slope, the equation of the line, the distance between the points, the angle and the midpoint.

Common questions
What does slope mean?
Rise over run: how much y changes for each step of 1 in x.
How do I get a slope as a percentage (grade)?
Multiply the slope by 100: a slope of 0.08 is an 8% grade.
