Slope

In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line. Slope is often denoted by the letter m.

  • The direction of a line is either increasing, decreasing, horizontal or vertical.
    • A line is increasing if it goes up from left to right. The slope is positive, i.e. m>0.
    • A line is decreasing if it goes down from left to right. The slope is negative, i.e. m<0.
    • If a line is horizontal the slope is zero. This is a constant function.
    • If a line is vertical the slope is undefined (see below).
  • A line is increasing if it goes up from left to right. The slope is positive, i.e. m>0.
  • A line is decreasing if it goes down from left to right. The slope is negative, i.e. m<0.
  • If a line is horizontal the slope is zero. This is a constant function.
  • If a line is vertical the slope is undefined (see below).
  • The steepness, incline, or grade of a line is measured by the absolute value of the slope. A slope with a greater absolute value indicates a steeper line

    Slope (album)

    Slope is the debut solo album by drummer Steve Jansen, released in 2007 by Samadhi Sound. The album includes guest musicians and was recorded all over the world.

    Jansen said: "With this album I approached composition attempting to avoid chord and song structures and the usual familiar building blocks. Instead I wanted to piece together unrelated sounds, music samples, rhythms and 'events' in an attempt to deviate from my own trappings as a musician."

    Slope

    by: Steve Jansen

    you run to the gate
    but you'll be marked late
    it's for your own good
    it's for your own good
    you're likely to make the grandest mistakes
    you suffer alone
    in the skin and the bone
    let's sharpen those
    new sets of arrows
    for the next generation
    of playground martyrs
    and join in the game
    of intolerable shame
    'cos everyone shares
    in the sins of their father's
    school bell rings
    single file in
    trade you my unhappily everafters
    so bring out those things
    to hammer out the wings
    of the next generation
    of playground martyrs
