Drop off ?
Changing the slope of the ramp will affect the speed of the vehicle going down it.
then the slope is x=y. there is no slope.
Our design guidelines call for a maximum driveway slope of 10% for standard residential driveways, but an applicant is seeking something along the lines of 20%... One concern about a steep driveway is the vehicle bottoming out and scraping the ground where the grade changes from angled to flat.
Examples of slope: http://www.answers.com/topic/slope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope
skiing
Ascending means going up and descending means going down. Ex: The elevator was ascending. The skier was descending the mountain slope.

a car on a slope with the break not on
The slope would be: -15/24 It's negative because it's descending instead of ascending.
slope, which indicates how steeply the line rises or falls as it moves along its path. The slope is found by taking the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line. It is a measure of the rate at which the line is ascending or descending.
A gradual slope is easier to drive a vehicle over than an excessively steep slope. As a cyclist, I want a gradual slope, anything steeper would mean dismounting and walking to the top of the steep slope.
A slope and the force of gravity.
A negative slope is a slope occurs whenever an increase in the x value of the equation of a line causes the y value to decrease. If you're looking at the graph, the line with slope downwards from left to right.
The answer depends on what causes the difficulty: the steepness or the distance which you have to run.
A skier going downhill on a slope is due to gravity pulling the skier downwards. The angle of the slope causes the skier to accelerate as they descend. By controlling their speed and direction using their skills and equipment, the skier can navigate the slope safely.
It would be very difficult for vehicle to climb up a hill if the road is very steep.Hill roads are built with gradual slopes so that a vehicle can climb it up easily.The longer the slope for same height the easier will be the climbing for vehicle,but it has to travel a greater distance.
