The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line is either the elevation angle of that surface to the horizontal or its tangent.
Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.
Incline from the Causeway Street Tunnel up to the Lechmere Viaduct on the Green Line (MBTA), Boston, Massachusetts, United States [15] This incline is commonly believed to be the "steepest grade of tracks in the T system."

The Barr Trail Bailout, two-thirds of the way up the Incline. About 2 ⁄ 3 of the way up, a Barr Trail switchback passes just a few yards from the Incline, and there is a pathway that allows those who wish to exit the Incline the opportunity to take the Barr Trail back down as a 'bailout'. In 2020 two new bailouts were added that exit to the ...
The Merach doesn't really stack up here because it doesn't have an incline option and its max speed is 7.5 mph. Again, it's really a preferred option only if you're a walker or a light jogger.
Incline may also refer to: Cable railway, a steeply graded railway that uses a cable or rope to haul trains Funicular (or funicular railway, a type of cable railway), a cable railway in which a cable attached moves cars up and down a steep slope; Inclined loop, a feature found on some roller coasters
Walk on an incline. If you’re walking outside, this means heading for hillier areas to try to push yourself more. But if you’re walking on a treadmill, increasing the incline is a quick way to ...
