slope is usually translated "pente". Synonyms include: côte, descente, montée, escarpement, raidillon, rampe, glacis, versant, talus, inclinaison.

when you're speaking of the "montée" it usually means that you are at the bottom of the slope and have to climb it while the same slope is a "descente" when you are up and waiting to go down.

What is the difference between a concave slope and convex slope?

Standing on the top of a concave slope means you can not see down to the bottom due to the bulge in the middle. A concave slope starts gently and gets steeper, once over the bulge, near the bottom. Standing on a concave slope means that you can see the bottom of the slope. A concave slope starts off steeply and becomes less steep near the bottom.

Why does slope always equal M?

No one knows for sure, but this is an assortment of ideas I have heard. One idea is that the first letter for the Greek word for slope is m, but no one knows if there is any correlation between the two. Another idea is that the French word for slope (monter) starts with a m, but it is not proven that there is a relationship (again). Another idea is that the old word for slope was modulus of slope (modulus being used in the sense of "number used to measure"), and the m was carried over. Yet another idea I have heard is there is no real reason.

What does m stand for in the equation y mx b?

In the equation ( y = mx + b ), the letter ( m ) represents the slope of the line. The slope indicates how steep the line is and the direction it is going; a positive slope means the line rises as it moves from left to right, while a negative slope means it falls. The slope is calculated as the change in ( y ) (vertical) divided by the change in ( x ) (horizontal) between two points on the line.
