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.

Which has a greater slope a horizontal or vertical line?
Vertical. Te horizontal like has zero slope ( no slope) and the vertical line has infinite (very very high) slope
What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
The slope of a vertical line is?
A vertical line is NO SLOPE to ski on. That's how my Algebra teacher taught us to remember it. Slope is rise/run with run=0, so the slope is infinity or "No Slope"
What has the steepest slope?
A vertical line.
The slope of a vertical line?
Undefined.
