inclined plane
The blade of a pencil sharpener is a wedge.
A gently sloping driveway on a hill can be considered a type of inclined plane, a simple machine that reduces the amount of force needed to move objects up or down. The sloping surface of the driveway allows vehicles to easily overcome the force of gravity.
A simple machine that is also an inclined plane is a ramp. A ramp is a sloping surface that allows objects to be moved from a lower to a higher height with less force.
A kickstand is not considered a wedge. A wedge is a simple machine with a sloping surface used to lift or split objects, while a kickstand is a support device used to keep a bicycle or motorcycle upright when not in use.
A wedge is a simple machine that consists of an inclined plane with one or two sloping sides. It is used to split, lift, or tighten objects by converting a force applied to the wide end into a greater force applied at the narrow end.
That would be a wedge.

No, a simple machine is a mechanical device that helps make work easier. A flat surface with one end higher than the other is not typically considered a simple machine, but rather a ramp or inclined plane.
