- (2,5) to (-1,2) ⇒ 1
FAQ
What if x₂ equals x₁?
The slope is undefined because division by zero occurs.
Are negative slopes allowed?
Yes, negative results indicate a downward slope.
Do inputs need to be integers?
No, decimals are accepted.
Is this for 2D only?
Yes, it handles two-dimensional coordinates.
What does a slope of zero mean?
A zero slope represents a perfectly horizontal line.
Additional Information
- Slope describes how steep a line is between two points.
- A positive slope rises from left to right; a negative slope falls.
- Results are unitless and depend on consistent coordinate units.
