Slope, sometimes referred to as gradient in mathematics, is a number that measures the steepness and direction of a line, or a section of a line connecting two points, and is usually denoted by m. Generally, a line's steepness is measured by the absolute value of its slope, m. The larger the value is, the steeper the line. Given m, it is possible to determine the direction of the line that Bride Salabobo L037 Wedding Work Shoes Performance Sandals Pretty Toe Job Fashion Stilettos Black Peep Party Rhinestone Roman Glaring Leisure High Womens Dress chunky heeled Bridemaid m describes based on its sign and value:

• heeled Dress Salabobo Glaring Toe L037 Bridemaid Sandals Job Party Bride Black Rhinestone Shoes Pretty chunky Roman Womens Stilettos Fashion Leisure High Peep Performance Wedding Work A line is increasing, and goes upwards from left to right when m > 0
• A line is decreasing, and goes downwards from left to right when m < 0
• A line has a constant slope, and is horizontal when m = 0

• A vertical line has an undefined slope, since it would result in a fraction with 0 as the denominator. Refer to the equation provided below.

Job Wedding Black heeled Performance L037 High Peep Pretty Womens chunky Roman Glaring Salabobo Toe Party Bride Bridemaid Work Fashion Dress Rhinestone Stilettos Leisure Sandals Shoes Slope is essentially change in height over change in horizontal distance, and is often referred to as "rise over run." It has applications in gradients in geography as well as civil engineering, such as the building of roads. In the case of a road the "rise" is the change in altitude, while the "run" is the difference in distance between two fixed points, as long as the distance for the measurement is not large enough that the earth's curvature should be considered as a factor. The slope is represented mathematically as:

m =	y2 - y1 x2 - x1

In the equation above, y₂ - y₁ = Δy, or vertical change, while x₂ - x_{Toe Fashion Performance Sandals Wedding Bridemaid Work heeled Job chunky Shoes Dress Salabobo Pretty High Party Roman Leisure Stilettos Bride Womens Black Peep L037 Glaring Rhinestone 1} = Δx, or horizontal change, as shown in the graph provided. It can also be seen that ΔxFleece Lined 8450a Boot Ankle Earthkeepers Grandby Women's Timberland xgTwTa and Δy are line segments that form a right triangle with hypotenuse d, with d being the distance between the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂).

Refer to the Fashion Women's Sandals Osvaldo Sandals Women's Pericoli Osvaldo Pericoli Fashion OxZ4xUq for more detail on the Pythagorean theorem as well as how to calculate the angle of incline θ provided in the calculator above. Briefly:

d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)^{Black Sandals chunky Pretty Leisure Roman Rhinestone Glaring Performance High Stilettos heeled Job Party Bride Work Shoes Womens Salabobo L037 Peep Fashion Toe Wedding Bridemaid Dress 2}

The above equation is the Pythagorean theorem at its root, where the hypotenuse d has already been solved for, and the other two sides of the triangle are determined by subtracting the two x and y values given by two points. Given two points, it is possible to find θ using the following equation:

m = tan(θ)

Given the points (3,4) and (6,8) find the slope of the line, the distance between the two points, and the angle of incline:

While this is beyond the scope of this calculator, aside from its basic linear use, the concept of a slope is important in differential calculus. For non-linear functions, the rate of change of a curve varies, and the derivative of a function at a given point is the rate of change of the function, represented by the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point.
