Move two points

Change the coordinates and watch how rise, run and gradient stay connected.

Point A(−3, −2)

x-coordinate−3 y-coordinate−2

Point B(3, 4)

x-coordinate3 y-coordinate4

Gradient1

rise 6÷run 6=1

For every 1 step right, the line rises 1.

Tip: focus a slider and use the arrow keys for precise changes.
