Slope Calculator
Calculate the slope of a line from two points or equation
Our Slope Calculator is a comprehensive tool designed to help you calculate the slope of a line in multiple ways. Whether you have two points, a linear equation, or need to find the equation from a slope and point, our calculator provides accurate results with detailed step-by-step explanations. The slope represents the steepness of a line and is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x). Our calculator shows the formula application, simplifies fractions when possible, and explains the meaning of positive, negative, zero, and undefined slopes. Perfect for students learning algebra and coordinate geometry, as well as professionals working with linear relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions About Slope Calculator
Common questions about our slope calculator
How do I calculate slope from two points?
The slope formula is m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). Simply input the coordinates of two points, and the calculator will subtract the y-coordinates (rise) and divide by the difference of x-coordinates (run), showing each step clearly.
What does a positive, negative, or zero slope mean?
A positive slope means the line rises from left to right, a negative slope means it falls, zero slope means the line is horizontal, and undefined slope means the line is vertical (division by zero). Our calculator explains each case.
Can the Slope Calculator work with linear equations?
Yes! If you have a linear equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), point-slope form, or standard form, the calculator can extract and calculate the slope from the equation.
Does the calculator simplify the slope fraction?
Yes, when the slope is a fraction, the calculator simplifies it to its lowest terms and also provides the decimal equivalent. It shows both forms for clarity.
Can I find the equation of a line from slope and a point?
Yes! Our calculator can work in reverse: given a slope and a point on the line, it can find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form or point-slope form, showing all steps.
Is the Slope Calculator free to use?
Yes! Our Slope Calculator is completely free to use. Calculate slopes for unlimited problems without any cost or registration required.
