Equation

y = 0.5x

P1P2runriseslope = rise / run
Step-by-step working
  1. Rise = y2 - y1 = 3 - 1 = 2
  2. Run = x2 - x1 = 6 - 2 = 4
  3. m = rise / run = 2 / 4 = 0.5
  4. b = y1 - m x x1 = 1 - 0.5 x 2 = 0
  5. Equation: y = 0.5x

What is slope or gradient?

Slope measures how steep a line is. It is the vertical change divided by the horizontal change, often described as rise over run.

Slope formula explained

For two points, m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). The numerator is the rise and the denominator is the run.

Positive, negative, zero, and undefined slopes

Positive slopes rise left to right, negative slopes fall, zero slopes are horizontal, and undefined slopes are vertical because the run is zero.

What does this mean?

This calculator is designed to help you understand the likely number before you make a decision or start an application.

Your result should be checked against official UK guidance, especially if your circumstances include dependants, exemptions, prior leave, or a complex immigration history.

Treat the figure as a planning tool rather than legal advice. Where the answer affects an application deadline or major payment, speak to an authorised adviser.
