Two Point Slope Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the two point slope is:

\[ TPS = \frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1} \]

Where:

TPS is the two point slope (y/x)
X1, Y1 are the coordinates of point 1
X2, Y2 are the coordinates of point 2

What is Two Point Slope?

The two point slope is the slope of the line that passes through two given points. It is calculated by dividing the difference in the y-coordinates by the difference in the x-coordinates.

Example Calculation

Example 1:

Coordinates of Point 1 (X1, Y1): (2, 3)
Coordinates of Point 2 (X2, Y2): (5, 7)

Step 1: Calculate the two point slope:

\[ TPS = \frac{7 - 3}{5 - 2} = \frac{4}{3} \approx 1.3333 \]

Example 2:

Coordinates of Point 1 (X1, Y1): (1, 2)
Coordinates of Point 2 (X2, Y2): (4, 6)

Step 1: Calculate the two point slope:

\[ TPS = \frac{6 - 2}{4 - 1} = \frac{4}{3} \approx 1.3333 \]
