Calculating Slope of a Line

Calculating Slope of a Line Given Two End Points



Program for Calculating Slope of a Line Given Two End Points

It uses the following formula given points are (x1,y1) and (x2, y2)

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Source Code


#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

void main()
{
    float slope;
    float x1, y1, x2, y2;
    float dx, dy;

    printf("Program to find the slope of a line given two end points\n");

    printf("Enter X1: ");
    scanf("%f", &x1);

    printf("Enter Y1: ");
    scanf("%f", &y1);

    printf("Enter X2: ");
    scanf("%f", &x2);

    printf("Enter Y2: ");
    scanf("%f", &y2);

    dx = x2 - x1;
    dy = y2 - y1;

    slope = dy / dx;
    printf("Slope of the line with end points (%.4f, %.4f) and (%.4f, %.4f) = %.4f", x1, y1, x2, y2, slope);
}

Output



Program to find the slope of a line given two end points
Enter X1: 2.5
Enter Y1: 7.5
Enter X2: 12.5
Enter Y2: 18
Slope of the line with end points (2.5, 7.5 and (12.5, 18) = 1.05
