Inverse Slope Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the inverse slope is:

$IS = \frac{1}{OS}$

where $IS$ is the Inverse Slope (X/Y), and $OS$ is the original slope (Y/X).

What is the Inverse Slope?

The inverse slope is the reciprocal of the original slope. If the original slope represents the ratio of the change in Y to the change in X (Y/X), the inverse slope represents the ratio of the change in X to the change in Y (X/Y). This can be useful in various mathematical and engineering applications where understanding the relationship between variables in different orientations is important.

Example Calculation

Let's assume we have the following value:

Original Slope ( $OS$ ) = 2

Step 1: Calculate the inverse slope:

$IS = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

Therefore, the Inverse Slope is $IS = 0.5$ (X/Y).
