Πώς να υπολογίσετε το Slope Calculator

Τι είναι το Slope Calculator;

The slope (gradient) of a line measures its steepness. In coordinate geometry, slope = rise/run — how much y changes per unit of x. It is the foundation of linear functions, derivatives in calculus, and regression in statistics.

Τύπος

m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁)

m: (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) — (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁)

Οδηγός βήμα προς βήμα

1m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁)
2Positive m: line rises left to right
3Negative m: line falls left to right
4Perpendicular lines: slopes multiply to −1 (m₂ = −1/m₁)
5Parallel lines have equal slopes

Worked Examples
