The coefficient of x changes as the slope changes.
The angle that the line makes with the axes changes.
Contours for a gentle slope are spaced equally and far apart, the closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
When the contour lines are farther apart, this means that the slopes between them are gentle. On the other side, if the contour interval is smaller, the slope will be steep.

Widely spaced contour lines indicate a gradual slope, while closely spaced lines indicate a steep slope.
A gentle slope is also known as a gradual incline or a slight gradient.
A geological ridge characterized by a gentle slope facing a steep slope is known as an anticline. It is a type of fold in rock formations where the layers of rock arch upward, creating a gentle slope on one side (the crest) and a steeper slope on the opposite side.
The most runoff of precipitation would occur in areas with saturated soil due to previous rainfall, steep slopes that promote water flow, impermeable surfaces like concrete or asphalt that prevent infiltration, and high-intensity rainfall events that exceed the soil's infiltration capacity.
A steep slope, due to the velocity of the water/runoff.
No, the continental slope is a steeply sloping zone between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor. It typically has a gradient of approximately 3-6 degrees, making it much steeper than the more gradual continental shelf.
When the contour lines are farther apart, this means that the slopes between them are gentle. On the other side, if the contour interval is smaller, the slope will be steep.

Gravity is always pulling objects down so when you climb upward gravity weighs you down, you have to use effort to move yourself in the oposite direction that gravity is pulling you that is why it is harder to climb up a slope. When you climb a gentle slope you still are using energy but it takes longer to reach the same height on a gentle slope versus a verticle slope. On a verticle slope you are climbing higher instead of farther so on each step gravity weighs you down much more than on a gentle slope. When climbing a gentle slope you don't rise as rapidly so gravity doesn't take as much of a toll on you and you have a chamce to recover.
