  2. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    [1] [2] as a ratio of one part rise to so many parts run. For example, a slope that has a rise of 5 feet for every 1000 feet of run would have a slope ratio of 1 in 200. (The word "in" is normally used rather than the mathematical ratio notation of "1:200".) This is generally the method used to describe railway grades in Australia and the UK.

    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.

  4. Roof pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_pitch

    The pitch of a roof is its vertical 'rise' over its horizontal 'run’ (i.e. its span), also known as its 'slope'. In the imperial measurement systems, "pitch" is usually expressed with the rise first and run second (in the US, run is held to number 12; [1] e.g., 3:12, 4:12, 5:12). In metric systems either the angle in degrees or rise per unit ...

    However, as mentioned above this only works for octant zero, that is lines starting at the origin with a slope between 0 and 1 where x increases by exactly 1 per iteration and y increases by 0 or 1. The algorithm can be extended to cover slopes between 0 and -1 by checking whether y needs to increase or decrease (i.e. dy < 0)

    D 1 is the distance over which the initial time is achieved. D 2 is the distance for which the time is to be predicted. Riegel expanded on his thesis in a 1981 article for American Scientist , stating that the formula t=ax b concerns activities in the "endurance range", namely lasting between 3.5 and 230 minutes.
