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 earth surface, the inclination of which is expressed as the ratio of horizontal distance to vertical distance.

Examples of Slope in a sentence

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 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 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 an inclined ground surface.
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.
