Slope of a Line Between Two Points

Introduction to Slope of a Line Between Two Points Calculator

The slope of a line between two points is calculated by taking the difference of the y-coordinates and dividing it by the difference of the corresponding x-coordinates. In this formula, m represents the slope of the line, (x1, y1) are the coordinates of the first point, and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the second point.

Parameter usage:

• x1 = x-coordinate of the first point
• y1 = y-coordinate of the first point
• x2 = x-coordinate of the second point
• y2 = y-coordinate of the second point

Example valid values:

• (x1, y1) = (2, 4)
• (x2, y2) = (6, 10)

Output:

• m = slope of the line

Data validation

The difference of x-coordinates should not be zero to avoid division by zero error.

Summary

This calculator determines the slope of a line given two points.
