How to Use the Slope Calculator?
Welcome to the Calculators.cat Slope Calculator. This advanced tool helps students and professionals calculate the slope (m) of a line connecting two points in a Cartesian coordinate system. It also generates the line equation (y = mx + b), finds the distance between points, and calculates the angle of inclination.
The Slope Formula
The slope of a line is defined as the "rise over run". It represents the change in the y-coordinates divided by the change in the x-coordinates. The formula used by this calculator is:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Key Features:
- Instant Calculation: Get Slope, Angle, Distance, and Midpoint instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What happens if the line is vertical?
A: If the line is vertical (x₁ = x₂), the slope is undefined. Our calculator will detect this and show "∞ (Vertical Line)".
Q: How do I find the equation of the line?
A: Once you enter the coordinates, the tool automatically calculates the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and displays it in the results section.
