To convert 'D' degrees into a percent slope, you could use the Excel formula:= 100 * TAN ( D / 57.296 )
the formula used to calculate a slope is: m=y2-y1/x2-x1
The answer depends on what information you have.
Renee Descartes
A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line. A line with a slope of zero is a horizontal line. If you use the formula for slope m = (y2-y1) divided by (x2-x1)... For an undefined slope you will get zero in the denominator, which you cannot have because you cannot divide by zero. For a slope equal to zero, you will get a zero in the numerator. Zero divided by any non-zero denominator, will give you a slope of zero.
