the property possessed by a line or surface that departs from the horizontal; "a five-degree gradient"
A measure of change in surface value over distance, expressed in degrees or as a percentage For example, a rise of 2 meters over distance of 100 meters describes a 2% slope
means average inclination of a surface measured from the horizontal, generally expressed as the ratio of a unit of vertical distance to a given number of units of horizontal distance (e g , 1v: 5h) It may also be expressed as a percent or in degrees
A slope is the side of a mountain, hill, or valley. Saint-Christo is perched on a mountain slope. the lower slopes of the Himalayas
the upward or downward slant of a line or the inclination of the slant of a line Segment AB extends up two units for every unit to the right that it extends Thus, it has slope 2/1
an elevated geological formation; "he climbed the steep slope"; "the house was built on the side of the mountain" be at an angle; "The terrain sloped down
The slope of a line is the ratio, when we move between any two points on the line, of the change in vertical position over the change in horizontal position
An oblique direction; a line or direction including from a horizontal line or direction; also, sometimes, an inclination, as of one line or surface to another
