What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm'. It is calculated as the change in y (rise) divided by the change in x (run).

Front

How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
