The slope on a graph is commonly referred to as the "gradient." It represents the rate of change of one variable with respect to another, indicating how steeply a line rises or falls. Mathematically, it is calculated as the change in the vertical axis (y-axis) divided by the change in the horizontal axis (x-axis), often expressed as "rise over run."
It's known as the X-axis. Most of the time used for the Independent Variable. Also used for the run (if on a Cartesian Plane) if doing slope. It does not have a Direct Definition, but is called the X-axis.
The 'Y' axis.

lines of latitude are horizontal lines that form circles and that run in the same direction as the equator
It is the gradient of the line. Pick any two points on the line. Measure the RISE = difference in their heights (distances from the x-axis), and the RUN = difference in their horizontal displacements (distances from the y-axis). The unit rate is RISE/RUN.
Run
A graph has two axes, the one running top to bottom (vertical or y axis) and one running right to left (horizontal or x axis). You can run your finger up the y axis to the point where it is at the same height as the point on the line you are interested in, and note the number on the y axis, then run your finger across to the point on the line you are interested in, then take your finger down to the x axis and note the number of that axis, then combine the two. For example, if the graph shows height on the y axis and time on the x axis, you go up the y axis to say, 23 cm, then across to the point on the line, then down to the x axis which is say, 12 hours, then you know that by 12 hours the plant (for example) had grown 23 cm.
