Gradient - 2 given points

Finding the gradient with the coordinates of two points on the line

This page is meant to help you find the gradient of the with the coordinates of any two points that are on the line.

Using the gradient formula to calculate the gradient given two points

Here is how to calculate the gradient: 1. Label the coordinates of your given points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) 2. Substitute your values into the equation to find the gradient m. 3. Calculate the gradient with the substituted values 4. In the above example:

Move the points to suit your individual problem

Just click on points A or B to adjust the line to match the problem you are working on.
