Slope Calculator: Fast slope, distance, and midpoint

What is the slope calculator?

This slope calculator finds the slope from two points with clear steps. It also gives the distance and the midpoint. The results show the formula with your numbers. You see each step from substitution to the final value. The tool alerts you if any field is empty.

How it works

Enter x and y for two points. The calculator computes the change in x and the change in y. It then applies the slope, distance, and midpoint formulas. It shows each step using your inputs. If x1 equals x2, the slope is undefined. The distance and midpoint still appear.

How to use this tool

1. Type the x value for Point 1 in the x1 field.
2. Type the y value for Point 1 in the y1 field.
3. Type the x value for Point 2 in the x2 field.
4. Type the y value for Point 2 in the y2 field.
5. Select Calculate to see the results.
6. Review the slope section for the formula and answer.
7. Check distance and midpoint in their sections.
8. Edit any value and select Calculate again to update.

Input fields explained

• x1 is the horizontal value for Point 1.
• y1 is the vertical value for Point 1.
• x2 is the horizontal value for Point 2.
• y2 is the vertical value for Point 2.
• Enter numbers with or without decimals.
• Use a minus sign for values below zero.
• Fill all four fields before you calculate.

What the results mean

• Slope m shows how steep the line is.
• A positive slope rises from left to right.
• A negative slope falls from left to right.
• A zero slope gives a flat line.
• An undefined slope marks a vertical line.
• Distance d is the straight length between the two points.
• Midpoint M is the point centered between your two inputs.
• You see substitution, differences, and the final values for each part.

Why use this slope calculator?

This slope calculator gives clear math and saves time. It shows the slope formula and each step with your numbers. It also adds distance and midpoint for a full view of the line. Students, teachers, engineers, and analysts gain quick checks. The step by step display helps you learn and verify.

• Check homework with fast and clear steps.
• Verify graph lines from two data points.
• Estimate road grade from survey points.
• Measure spacing between two map points.
• Find a midpoint for computer aided design work.

Simplify your calculations

Result tips

• Large slope values can show in scientific format.
• The tool rounds displayed numbers to four decimals.
• Negative inputs appear in the steps with brackets.
• Vertical lines give an undefined slope, and other results still show.
• Results update after you select Calculate.

Quick example

• Points at 2 and 5 for x, and 3 and 9 for y.
• The slope equals the change in y over the change in x.
• The distance gives the straight length between those points.
• The midpoint lands halfway along the segment.

Final thoughts

This slope calculator shows the formula and every step with your data. It also returns distance and midpoint for a complete check. Enter two points, select Calculate, and read the clear results. Try a few sets of numbers and see how the line changes.
