then the slope is x=y. there is no slope.
Examples of slope: http://www.answers.com/topic/slope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope
Yes, it is true; slope zero is no slope.
X=5 is a vertical line, so it has no slope. When I say it has no slope, I don't mean the slope is 0, I mean the slope is nonexistent.
m = slope
stream channel
It is called the gradient.
The discharge of a stream is directly affected by the slope of the stream channel. A steeper slope will generally result in a higher discharge due to increased velocity and energy to transport water. Conversely, a gentler slope will result in lower discharge.
An increase in rainfall can increase the slope of a stream by eroding the surrounding land and steepening the riverbanks. Conversely, a decrease in rainfall or the deposition of sediment along the streambed can decrease the slope of a stream by smoothing out its gradient.

A stream.
true
Gravity and the slope of the land combine to create the force that moves water in a stream. Gravity pulls the water downhill, and the slope of the land determines the direction and speed of the flow.
If the slope goes down stream, the water speeds up, if up stream the water wil pool and flood until it rises up and over the slope this is not right information if your doing a crossword puzzle from Andale.
low slope and gradient are the same thing - just measured in different units
Changing the slope of the stream table affects the speed and direction of water flow. A steeper slope creates faster water flow, which can result in more erosion and deposition. Conversely, a flatter slope slows down water flow, leading to less erosion and deposition. These changes in flow dynamics can cause differences in the shape and size of channels, as well as the amount and distribution of sediment carried by the water.
A steeper slope in a stream increases the velocity of the water, leading to increased erosion of sediment and rocks. This results in greater transportation of material downstream. Conversely, a gentler slope decreases the velocity of the water, causing less erosion and more deposition of sediment.
