Mathematically, there is no unit for slope. If you are taking something like a rise of 40cm over a run of 10cm, the cm cancel out and the slope is simply 4
Once you get off the math homework paper, however, slopes are often given as over a certain distance. If dealing with a hill on a road, you might be given a slope of "18 inches per 100 feet traveled" or something along those lines. ■
the slope is a ratio and really has no units.
Of course. If the line rises 18 units for every 27 horizontal units,then its slope is 2/3 .
The adage is "rise over run". For example, if the change between position 1 and position 2 is two units to the right and 3 units up, the slope is 3/2. If the change was 3 units up and two units to the left, then it would be (-3/2).
Nothing. Slope is a measure used in graphing and algebra. Feet and inches are units of linear measurement.
The slope of a line is rise over run. That is to say, how many units the line rises for every unit it travels laterally.

It means express the slope along with its measurement units.
the slope tells you the angle to draw a line. for example the slope 3/5 tells you that line line rises 3 units for every 5 units it moves across the x axis. this can be remembered by rise over run.

That one, there!

low slope and gradient are the same thing - just measured in different units

The maximum number of drainage fixture unit on a 2" drain line depends on the slope of the drain line. 21 units are allowed if the slope is 1/4' per foot, and 26 units are allowed if the slope of the line is 1/2" per foot.
A slope of 1 in 7 (or 14%) is one where it rises 1 unit vertically for every 7 units horizontally
Slope is equal to the change in y divided by the change in x (also known as "rise over run"). If a slope is 18 , then it "rises" 18 units, for every 1 unit of x.
