The equation for average slope is the change in elevation (in feet) divided by the distance (in miles).

* * * * *

The distance should be the horizontal distance.

Any measurement units may be used. In fact, the units used are often the same for both measures so that the average slope can be expressed as a percentage - for example, road signs in UK.
