Discharge of material? Material discharged or eroded would increase with increasing slope due to the increased cutting action of the water.

What happens to the rate of stream erosion As slope increases?
as slope increases erosion rate increases (direct relationship)
What factor is most likely to affect the amount of erosion done by a stream?
The slope or gradient of the stream is the most likely factor to affect the amount of erosion. Steeper slopes result in higher velocities, which in turn increase the erosive power of the stream. A steeper slope also allows the stream to carry larger sediment and potentially cause more erosion.
Why does the greatest erosion and transportation of sediment by a stream occur during a flood?
As flood waters rise, the slope of the stream as it flows to it's base level increases
What will be the relationship between infiltration and runoff in a region with a moderate slope that has a permeable surface material covered with sparse vegetation?
Um, you might get more answers, if it was English.
A fan-shaped formation that develops when a stream deposits its sediment at the base of a steep slope is called?
a delta
Does the carrying capacity increase as a stream's slope and discharge increases?
true
What happens to the rate of stream erosion As slope increases?
as slope increases erosion rate increases (direct relationship)
What is the relationship between the slope and the pythagorean theorem?
There is no relationship between slope and the theorem, however the theorem does deal with the relationship between angles and sides of a triangle.

The slope or gradient of the stream is the most likely factor to affect the amount of erosion. Steeper slopes result in higher velocities, which in turn increase the erosive power of the stream. A steeper slope also allows the stream to carry larger sediment and potentially cause more erosion.
How does finding slope compare to finding the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship?
The slope of a line is the same thing as the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship.
Must be positive the slope of an inverse relationship?
The slope of an inverse relationship
What is the relationship between slope and a perpendicular line?
If a line has a slope m then a line perpendicular to it has a slope -1/m ( negative inverse). For example if a line has slope positive 2, its perpendicular has slope -1/2
What is the relationship between gravitational force and mass for objects near the surface of earth when the slope of the graph is equal?
The answer depends on the slope of which graph.
What is the relationship between the slopes of two parallel lines?
Parallel lines have the same slope.
The steepness or slope of a stream channel in the direction of flow is the channel's?
stream channel
What is the relationship between net exports and GDP?
The relationship between ne exposts and GDP makes the slope of the ae curve flatter than it would be otherwise
What is a stream slope called?
It is called the gradient.
