In regards to roofs.
"Pitch" is a ratio of the total rise of a roof over the total span of a building.
"Slope" is a ratio of the total rise of a roof over "half" the total span of a building.
A building 40 feet wide with a total roof rise of 10 feet (from the top of the supporting walls) has a pitch of 10/40 reduced to 1:4
A building of the same dimensions will have a slope of 1:2 or 6/12 on the imperial framing square.

What is the slope of the line passing through (6 -3) and (8 0).?
Points: (6, -3) and (8, 0) Slope: 3/2
What is the difference between the slope and the y-intercept?
The slope is the value of m in which you "rise and run" point units The Y-intercept is the value in which X is zero
What is the difference between rise and run in the formula of slope?
The rise is the difference between the ordinates (vertical values) of two points on a line whereas the run is the difference between their abscissae (horizontal values) of the same two points.
What is the difference between undefined slope and no slope?
Undefined slope is when a line is exactly on the y-axis, for reasons unknown, the slope of a line on the y-axis cannot be determined, so therefore it it "undefined." A line with no slope is a line with a slope of zero. In order for a line to have a slope of zero, it must be directly on the x-axis, meaning it is horizontal. Horizontal lines are straight and have no slope
Find the slope between the following points. (0 4) and (5 -7)?
Simply divide the difference in the y-coordinates, by the difference in the x-coordinates.
What is the difference between slope of 0 and no slope?
No slope is undefined i.e. a vertical line slope of 0 is a horizontal line... i believe...
What is the difference between rate of change and slope?
Slope is blah. Rate of change is blah.
What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
What is the difference between a line that has a zero slope and a line that has a undefined slope?
zero is horizontal, undefined is vertical
What is the difference between a slope and rate of change?
Depends. Slope of tangent = instantaneous rate of change. Slope of secant = average rate of change.
What is the slope between (5-3) and (8-5)?
Points: (5, -3) and (8, -5)Slope: -2/3
In line slope what is the run?
The run of a slope is the difference between x-coordinates (delta x or x2 - x1 ).
What is the difference between positve and negative correlation?
Positive correlation has a positive slope and negative correlation has a negative slope.
What is the slope between the given points of -4 -1 and 4 5?
Calculate the difference of the y-coordinates, and divide it by the difference of the x-coordinates. That is the slope.
The of a graph is the difference between any two numbers on the scale?
Slope
What is the difference between the slope intercept form and the standard form?
Slope intercept form is displayed as y=mx+b.
What is the difference between y equals 3x plus 5 and 6 equals 3x plus 5?
what is a slope
