The slope or the gradient is commonly used to describe the measurement of the steepness, incline or grade of a straight line. A higher slope value indicates a steeper incline. In normal UK usage, the gradient of a slope is defined as the ratio of the "rise" divided by the "run" between two points on a line. The term Grade is also used for this definition, which can be mathematically stated as the tangent of the angle of inclination – the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the grade
Using calculus, one can calculate the slope of the tangent to a curve at a point.
The concept of slope, and much of this article, applies directly to grades or gradients in geography and civil engineering. In UK construction work, a slope is often called a fall, and measured as an angle, a gradient or as a ratio such as 1 in 80.
