slope: The slope of something is the angle at which it slopes. The slope increases as you go up the curve. a slope of ten degrees. see also ski slope
slope: Any ground whose surface forms an angle with the plane of the horizon
slope: slippery slope: see slippery. if the ground or a surface slopes, it is higher at one end than the other slope up/down/away etc. Numerical measure of a line's inclination relative to the horizontal. In analytic geometry, the slope of any line, ray, or line segment is the ratio of the vertical to the horizontal distance between any two points on it ("slope equals rise over run"). In differential calculus, the slope of a line tangent to the graph of a function is given by that function's derivative and represents the instantaneous rate of change of the function with respect to change in the independent variable. In the graph of a position function (representing the distance traveled by an object plotted against elapsed time), the slope of a tangent line represents the object's instantaneous velocity
slope: To depart; to disappear suddenly
slope: The term in the equation of a regression line which multiplies the independent variable X If the equation of a line is given as Y = A+B*X, then the slope is B The slope's numerical value indicates the steepness of a line while the algebraic sign describes the relationship between X and Y A positive slope means that as X increases, Y decreases The converse is true for a negative slope: as X increases, Y decreases In a regression analysis, the slope tells you how much increase there is in the predicted Y variable for every unit change in the X variable
slope: In a sloping manner
slope: If a surface slopes, it is at an angle, so that one end is higher than the other. The bank sloped down sharply to the river The garden sloped quite steeply. + sloping slop·ing a brick building, with a sloping roof. the gently sloping beach
slope: If something slopes, it leans to the right or to the left rather than being upright. The writing sloped backwards = slant
slope: the amount by which the value along the vertical axis increases as a result of a change in a unit along the horizontal axis; the slope is calculated by dividing the change in the vertical axis (the "rise") by the change in the horizontal axis (the "run")
