Slope Formula Calculator

Slope is generally considered as ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run between any two points on a line. It is usually referred to as RISE over RUN.

FORMULA FOR FINDING SLOPE:

When we have two points on a line like A (X₁, Y₁) and B(X2, Y₂) we use the following formula:
SLOPE =   RISE =   Y₂– Y₁
                RUN        X₂– X₁

Slope Form Calculator is used to find the slope of line from the coordinates of line.

Example 1.

Find the Slope of the line between two points (-4, 8) and (10, -4).
Solution:
Here we use the formula m ₌Y₂ – Y₁
                                                X₂– X₁
Now putting the values from the question in the formula (-4) – (8)
                                            (10) – (-4)
Now we simplify the expression
(-4) – (8)₌ -4 - 8 ₌-12₌-6
(10) – (-4) 10+4 14    7

So, we get slope as   -6
                                    7

Example 2.

Find the slope of the line between the two points (8, 12) and (-8, -2).
Solution:

Here we use the formula m ₌Y₂ – Y₁
X₂– X₁
Now putting the values from the question in the formula (-2) - (12)
                                                                                                   (-8) – (8)
Now we simplify the expression
(-2) – (12)₌ -2 - 12 ₌-14 ₌7
(-8)– (8)         -8 – 8    -16     8

So, we get slope as   7
                                  8

I just want you to know how great Brinda has been in tutoring me on probability. She is patient and very knowledgeable in all concepts. I look forward to many more sessions with her. I appreciate her help and the great work that Tutor Pace is doing.

I have enjoyed my session with Aparna and it was helpful. I will hope to see her as my Math tutor in future sessions as well.

Your tutor has been such an inspiration to me as I have difficulty getting some of the physics concepts down and truly understanding them. She takes the time to fully explain each and every aspect of any problem I might ask for help and always with encouragement and humor.
