The area with the steepest slope is the area where
the contour lines are bunched closest together.
The closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.

yes they do
To determine if two lines will intersect using their slopes, compare the slopes of the two lines. If the slopes are different, the lines will intersect at one point. If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel and will not intersect. If both the slopes and y-intercepts are the same, the lines are coincident and overlap entirely.
The closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
The area with the steepest slope on a map is typically where the contour lines are closest together, indicating a rapid change in elevation over a short distance. Look for areas where the contour lines are tightly spaced or where the lines bend sharply, as this suggests a steep slope.
each contour line represents an equal value, so the closer the lines the steeper the slope
Maps don't work like that. The steepest land could be anywhere. You must view the contour lines and follow them to find what is steep or not.
Hachure lines are a form of representation for showing the contours on a map. They point towards the steepest part of the slope. Hachure lines are an old form of showing relief, and less useful, scientifically, than contour lines.
No.
nope!
yes they do
plane
yes
yes you can still determine the angle measure!
To determine elevation on a topographic map, look for contour lines that connect points of equal elevation. The elevation can be found by reading the numbers on these lines. The closer the lines are together, the steeper the terrain.
