It's the Gradient.

i 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.
Speed or velocity can be expressed as the distance divided by time.
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)
