The slope of a line is a mathematical measurement of how steep a line drawn on a graph appears, and this value is usually shown as the variable m in an equation in slope intercept form, y=mx+b. If a new y intercept is entered, the slope will remain the same but the calculator will move the two points to shift the line to match the new y intercept. If a new slope is entered, the slope calculator will move one of the points so that the equation matches the new line. You may also calculate the equation for a line by changing the slope independently (either as a slope fraction or a slope decimal), or by entering a new y intercept. The calculator will automatically create the correct decimal or fraction components for whatever you enter. The calculator also allows direct entry of the rise or run values, or a decimal value for m. The slope calculator updates the graph and the equation automatically when you enter new values for the points. A graph of the line is drawn on a coordinate plane, along with the slope intercept equation. The slope and the intercept are then combined to provide the equation of the line in slope intercept form (“y=mx+b”). This slope calculator takes two points and then uses the slope formula to calculate the slope of a line defined by those two points, and then the y intercept.
