It's the Gradient.

∙ 14y agoi presume from the question that you are referring to the gradient of a line or road/hill the gradient of a hill is the change in the height (the rise) divided by the hozintal distance (the run) i hope this helps
Gradient= change in field value divided by the distance
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity, that is the finishing velocity minus the starting velocity divided by the time taken for that change. Velocity is the rate of change in distance, that is the finishing distance minus the starting distance divided by the time taken for that change. Distance may be measured in metres and time in seconds. In that case velocity would be measured in metres per second. Acceleration is then measured in (metres per second) per second or metres per second2.
If the base of the elevation is at a distance d from the observer, then the highest point is at a height = d*tan(angle of elevation)
Speed or velocity can be expressed as the distance divided by time.
the change in elevation in feet divided by the distance in miles
The measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called slope. It is typically expressed as the ratio of the change in vertical height to the horizontal distance between two points on a surface.

The rate at which elevation changes over a specified horizontal distance is known as slope. It is commonly expressed in terms of degrees or as a ratio (e.g., 1:10). Slope is an essential factor in determining the steepness of terrain and is used in various fields such as geography, engineering, and outdoor recreation.
A) the distance traveled by water in a channel times a drop in elevation b) the drop in elevation of a stream divided by the distance the water travels c) the water pressure at the bottom of the stream divided by the stream's width d) the increase in discharge of a stream per unit drop in elevation
This would be the slope or the gradient.
Average velocity
Stars appear to change elevation due to the rotation of the Earth, causing different stars to move in and out of view. Stars near the celestial pole change elevation less as the Earth rotates, while stars closer to the celestial equator change elevation more as they cross the sky from east to west.
This is mathematically known as slope or "rise/run".
