Four formulas at once
Two points determine a line segment. From those same inputs, you can compute slope, distance, midpoint, and the y-intercept of the full line.

About this calculator.
Vertical-line caveat
If x1 equals x2, the slope is undefined. This generic numeric display returns 0 for that case, so treat vertical-line results accordingly.
FAQ
Questions people usually have.
What is slope?
Slope is rise divided by run. It tells you how much y changes for each 1 unit change in x.
What formula is used for distance?
Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2), which is the Pythagorean theorem applied to the coordinate grid.
