Calculate the gradient between two points and find the line equation
The slope or gradient of a line describes its steepness, incline, or grade. A higher slope value indicates a steeper incline. Our slope calculator helps you find the slope between two points, determine the line equation, calculate the angle of inclination, and find the distance between points.
Example: A roof rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance.
Slope: 6/12 = 0.5 (or 26.57° angle)
Example: A road climbs 100 meters over 1 kilometer of horizontal distance.
Slope: 100/1000 = 0.1 (or 5.71° angle)
Example: A position-time graph with points at (0s, 0m) and (5s, 20m).
Slope: (20-0)/(5-0) = 4 m/s (velocity)
