Gradient Calculator – Find the Slope Between Two Points Instantly

Gradient Calculator – Easily Find the Slope Between Two Points

The Gradient Calculator is a powerful tool designed to help you find the slope between two points on a Cartesian plane. Whether you're solving geometry problems, analyzing linear functions, or learning algebra, this tool quickly calculates the rise, run, and gradient for any two points you enter.

What is Gradient (Slope)?

The gradient, also known as the slope, tells us how steep a line is. It is calculated by dividing the vertical change (rise) by the horizontal change (run) between two points on a straight line. Mathematically:

            Gradient (m) = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁)
        

How to Use the Gradient Calculator

1. Enter the coordinates of the first point (x₁, y₁).
2. Enter the coordinates of the second point (x₂, y₂).
3. Click "Calculate Gradient".
4. Get the rise, run, and the gradient value displayed instantly.

Example Calculation

For points (−2, 1) and (3, 11):

• Rise = 11 − 1 = 10
• Run = 3 − (−2) = 5
• Gradient = 10 ÷ 5 = 2

Why Use This Calculator?

• Fast and accurate slope calculation
• Mobile-friendly and easy to use
• Perfect for algebra, geometry, and coordinate graphing
• Supports both positive and negative coordinates

Whether you're a student, teacher, or professional, this tool simplifies the process of finding how steep a line is. Try it out and take the guesswork out of gradients!
