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.

X Axis
The X 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
You're generally going to put the independent variable on the horizontal axis, ie the variable that you decided to change in the experiment. If it is a continuous variable (ie a run of numbers) then you will be plotting a line graph and joining with a line or curve of best fit. If your variable is categoric ie has labels rather than numbers, or if it is whole-number only, then you're going to be plotting a bar graph.
