	Slope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The slope or the gradient is commonly used to describe the measurement of the steepness, incline or grade of a straight line.
		The derivative of the function at a point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at the point, and is thus equal to the rate of change of the function at that point.
		Since the slope is the ratio of two numbers of same dimension, it is dimensionless, that is, it has no unit.

	MathSteps: Grade 7: Linear Equations: Introducing the Concept
		Say: In mathematics, slope describes both the steepness and the direction of that steepness.
		They should also notice that the coefficient of x (the number that multiplies it) determines the slope of the line.
		Uncover the equations for graph C. Say: These graphs all have the same slope.

	Slope
		The grade of a road is a measure of its steepness or slope.
		The slope of a line is the ratio of the change in the vertical direction, the rise, divided by the change in the horizontal direction, the run, necessary to get from one point on the line to another point on the line.
		The pitch of a roof is a measure of the slope of the roof.

	Coastal Atlas of Washington, Shoreline Slope Stability
		Stable slopes generally rise less than 15 percent in grade, except in local areas of low groundwater concentration or competent bedrock.
		Slope stability maps included on image plates from the Washington State Coastal Zone Atlas were scanned, clipped and georeferenced to USGS 1:24,000 topographic quadrangle maps.
		Stable slopes include rolling uplands and lowlands underlain by stable material such as unweathered till and/or peat deposits which, although inherently weak, have no significant slope.

		Apply the concept of slope to real-world situations by discussing the grade of a road and the incline of a wheelchair ramp.
		The value for a represents the slope of the equation, and the value of b represents the y-intercept of the equation.
		Apply the concept of the slope and y-intercept to real-world situations by discussing the charge of a long distance call given the charge for the first minute and the charge for each additional minute.

	Grade Gauge - Roadway Slope Measurement Device
		This is an instrument that the traffic accident investigator (or reconstructionist) can easily use to measure the grade or superelevation of a roadway or the slope of any surface.
		It’s Quick the investigator can set it on the roadway where the slope is to be measured and in less than five seconds adjust the arm that will give the reading.
		By entering the reading in degrees into a pocket calculator and pressing the tangent button, a reading in percent is obtained and can be used in the various speed formulas that require a reading in percent.

	village voice > news > Too Tall in Park Slope by Tom Robbins
		To see Radusky's latest work, the Park Slope neighbors had only to take a short walk to 22nd Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues, an area near Green-Wood Cemetery that real estate marketers are now calling "So-Slo," as in South Slope.
		On a Saturday morning in April, neighbors on a quiet Brooklyn block on the southern edge of Park Slope looked into their backyards to see workmen erecting a construction fence on their properties.
		The 57,000-square-foot building was to include three below-grade floors for parking and a medical facility, its air vents pointed at backyards on 16th Street.

	DEEP SUBTIDAL DEPOSITS, EARLY CAMBRIAN SEKWI FORMATION, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES, CANADA
		Slope and shelf-derived conglomerate consist of carbonate mudstone and calcisiltite clasts as well as clasts of shelf-derived sandstone, pelletal/ooid packstone, bioclastic packstone, and algal-archeocyathan reef.
		Matrix and clast composition of slope-derived conglomerate consists of both carbonate mudstone and calcisiltite, indicating redeposition of these slope facies by debris flows.
		Both conglomerate facies commonly grade upward into laminated and cross-laminated calcisiltite or sandstone, indicating deposition of two-layered sediment gravity flows.

	CHLORDANE (TECHNICAL GRADE) - (Organic Method #67)
		Since the recovery of technical grade chlordane from the samples was high and approximately equal to the detection limit of the aiilytical procedure, the detection limit of the overall procedure and reliable quantitation limit are the same.
		The major use of technical grade chlordane is for termite control, in which treatment of the site with a 1% emulsion is enough to give residual control for at least 5 years.
		Because most samples of technical grade chlordane have sufficiently matchable fingerprints, a sample of the bulk material is not required with each set of samples for use as the analytical standard.

	Bryson Burke Diamond Corporation: Diamond Exploration and Mining in Canada
		As debris reaches the bajada slope a rapid diminution in volume of water due to seepage and an extreme decrease in the grade of channel causes deposition of debris, and either (1) an alluvial fan or (2) a gravel-mantled pediment may be formed.
		Bajada is the Spanish term for slope and is used locally in the Southwest to indicate the lower slope of a mountain range, the portion consisting of rock debris and standing at a much lower angle than the rock slope of the range proper....
		The genesis of a bajada placer is basically similar to that of a stream placer except as it is conditioned by the climate and topography of the arid region in which the placer occurs...

	DRAINAGE
		Above grade drainage relies upon gravity and the slope of the park to drain water across the surface of the park and away without drainpipes, etc. This drainage technique is the least expensive approach.
		Below grade drainage relies upon gravity and the slope of the skatepark to carry water into a series of underground drainpipes where it flows into the municipal drain system.
		The specific drainage requirements for any given skatepark will be a function of the design and the topography of the site.

		Small-angle formula.) The ambiguities and the small differences that result may permit these two inconsistent approaches to coexist unrecognized, especially where all grades considered are subject to engineering upper limits of 15% or less.
		For instance, on hearing the same ground described as having 50% grade and also having 30 degrees inclination, one might falsely infer that a 5:3 ratio exists between the grade and the angle of inclination.
		Many of the mathematical principles of slope, that follow from the definition, are applicable in topographic practice.

	Diegel v. City of West Fargo, 546 N.W.2d 367 (N.D. 1996)
		They asserted West Fargo had a duty to change the grade of the street to improve the sight line for drivers approaching the crossing, or to post a speed limit or other warning sign near the crossing.
		The plaintiffs all alleged West Fargo was negligent because the slope of the street created a visual obstruction which was unreasonably dangerous.
		We hold summary judgment dismissing the plaintiffs' negligence claims against West Fargo was proper because West Fargo had no duty to change the grade of the street, or to post a speed limit or other warning sign near the crossing.
