How we worked it out

Updated as you change the numbers.

  1. Slope = rise ÷ run = (y₂ − y₁) ÷ (x₂ − x₁) = (8 − 2) ÷ (4 − 1).
  2. Intercept b = y₁ − m × x₁.

Method and assumptions

Slope is the change in y per unit change in x. The angle is the arctangent of the slope. Grade as a percentage is slope × 100.

Questions

What is the slope between (1, 2) and (4, 8)?

2. The line is y = 2x.
