It depends on two factors;
Wether you are stopped or wether you are already moving.
To go uphill you need the gear with the most torque, thus first gear.
If you are already moving and the car gradually loses torque ( slowing down ) Downshift a gear until the car picks up speed. You can also kkep an eye on the rev. meter. The lower the rpm the more chances you have of losing torque and slowing down. Be especially carefull trying to start uphill from a complete stop as the car will start going downhill as you lift your foot off the brake. Timing is essential. If you are
scared try pulling the e-brake as you lift your foot off the brake pedal and gently release it as your foot presses on the gas pedal. Practice makes perfect. Drive safely

Why is the stopping distance of a car traveling uphill is less than when it is traveling on a level road?
When you go uphill, gravity helps slow down the car.
What is the problem when a car won't go into reverse?
Manual transmission only: Probably broke your reverse gear or grind up the gear to much and it won't go into gear. Could need a new clutch or thrust bearing does it crunch trying to get it into gear if yes then its probably the clutch
Why does your car slow while going uphill?
Gravity. The car is heavy and doesnt want to move, so you must excelerate to make the car go uphill. If a car is going downhill, the is no need to excelerate because gravity is pulling the car downhill.
What causes the car stop going into gear?
Your question doesn't give much detail but the car may not go into gear while you're driving (manual only) because the car's speed and engine speed are not suitable for the gear. E.g. If you're driving at 100km/h (60mph) it could become very difficult to change down to first gear.
What happens when a car wont go into gear?
Gear up then
