The "steepness" of a line is called the slope. The slope represents the the amount of change in the y-direction of the line per every change in the x-direction. This is represented mathematically by
slope = Δy/Δx
Δy is also called the "rise" and Δx is also called the "run".
The steepness can also be called the gradient, which is represented by an angle. The gradient can be calculated from the slope by using the formula gradient = tan(slope).

The "slope".
The slope of a line measures the steepness of the line.
either a scatter graph or a line graph xx :)
A straight line.
The steepness of a line graph is called the "gradient" ------------------------------- or slope.
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
It is sometimes called the gradient.
No
The steepness of a graphed equation is called the slope. Slope can be found after choosing to points on the graph. After recording the coordinate points (x1,y1) snd (x2, y2), slope= y2-y1/x2-x1, or rise/run.
I think 'stepness' should be 'steepness'. Steepness of the line is called slope of the line.
assuming you're speaking of a horizontal line on a graph: It is because the line moves neither up or down. slope is the steepness of a line and a horizontal line isn't steep at all, it has no steepness.

Speed
The slope is the slant of a line
Gradient
The steepness of the line on a distance-time graph represents the radial speed of the object. That is, the speed with which the object is moving towards or away from the origin. The steepness takes absolutely no account of the transverse speed, so you can be going around the origin in a circle at a great speed but, since your distance remains the same, the D-T graph will be flat: implying speed = 0.
