   Slope
   The measure of the tilt of a line, the rise over run or how much the line moves up for every movement to the right.For a straight line in the plane, the slope is the tangent of the angle it forms with the positive X axis. For a curve the slope is the slope of the tangent line. If the slope is constant a line is straight.

    Slope
    `Slope` is often used to describe the measurement of the steepness, incline, gradient, or grade of a straight line. A higher slope value indicates a steeper incline. The slope is defined as the ratio of the ``rise`` divided by the ``run`` between two points on a line, or in other words, the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the line. It is also always the same thing as how many rises in one run. Us...
