The steepness or incline of a line is measured by its slope. This is calculated by the ratio of the vertical alteration (rise) to the horizontal alteration (run) between any two distinct points on the line. In the realm of algebra, this is denoted by 'm' in the linear equation y=mx+b. A line with a positive slope ascends, whereas a line with a negative slope descends.
