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.

Why it is difficult to climb verticle slope than gentle slope?

Climbing a vertical slope is more challenging than a gentle slope due to the significantly increased gravitational force acting against the climber. This requires greater physical effort, strength, and energy expenditure to maintain balance and traction. Additionally, vertical slopes often lack stable footing and can pose greater risks of slips or falls, making the ascent more technically demanding and mentally taxing.

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.


What does steeper mean?

To be more steep. We say "a steep slope" meaning the slope rises at a sharp angle, that is difficult to climb. A wall is steep because it goes straight up.

What describes the slope of a vertical line?

The slope of a line becomes extremely large in magnitude as the line approaches being vertical;and is undefined or infinite for a truly vertical line.
