The slope of a line measures its steepness — how much y changes for each unit increase in x. Slope is fundamental to coordinate geometry, calculus, statistics (linear regression), and everyday applications like road gradients.

공식

Slope m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁)

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

단계별 가이드

1Slope m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁)
2Positive slope: line rises from left to right
3Negative slope: line falls from left to right
4Zero slope: horizontal line
5Undefined slope: vertical line (x₁ = x₂)

풀어진 예시

입력

Points (0,0) and (3,6)

결과

Slope = 2

(6−0)/(3−0) = 2. For every 1 step right, go 2 up

입력

Points (1,5) and (4,2)

결과

Slope = −1

(2−5)/(4−1) = −3/3 = −1. Line falls at 45°
