Slope definition

Slope means the inclination of a surface expressed as one unit of rise or fall for so many horizontal units;
Slope of a linear regression ( ) means:
Slope means an inclined ground surface the inclination of which is expressed as a ratio of horizontal distance to vertical distance.

Examples of Slope in a sentence

  • Fill material for Zone 3 placed as Slope Surface Protection shall be placed within tolerances of +10% and -5% on thickness, measured normal to the finished slopes shown on the Drawings, provided that the minus tolerance does not extend over an individual area greater than 15 m2 and in an overall area not exceeding 10%, of the total area of fill material for Zone 3.

  • Material for Zone 3 (Granular Fill Material – Slope Surface Protection) shall consist of natural boulder gravel.


More Definitions of Slope

Slope means the inclination, measured as a percentage (see Figure 9 below), of the supporting surface produced by raising or lowering one side of the supporting surface in relation to the horizontal in such a manner that the intersection of the supporting surface and the horizontal plane is perpendicular to the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle;
Slope of a linear regression (a1) means:
Slope means the deviation of a plane surface from the horizontal. It is usually expressed as a ratio or percentage of number of units of vertical rise or fall per unit of horizontal distance.
Slope means the ratio of the change in voltage, based on reference 1 pu voltage, to a change in reactive power in-feed from zero to maximum reactive power, based on maximum reactive power;
Slope means average inclination of a surface, measured from its 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 percentage or in degrees.
Slope means the degree of deviation of a surface from the horizontal, measured as a numerical ratio, percent, or in degrees. Expressed as a ratio, the first number is the horizontal distance (run) and the second is the vertical distance (rise), as 2:1. A 2:1 slope is a 50 percent slope. Expressed in degrees, the slope is the angle from the horizontal plane, with a 90-degree slope being vertical (maximum) and 45 degrees being a 1:1 or 100 percent slope.
Slope means an inclined ground surface.
