Create Free AccountSlope measures the steepness of a line. It's calculated as "rise over run" — the change in y divided by the change in x. The formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). A positive slope goes up, negative goes down.
Use the slope formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Subtract the y-coordinates (rise), then subtract the x-coordinates (run), and divide. For example, between (1, 2) and (3, 8): m = (8-2)/(3-1) = 6/2 = 3.
