What does SLOPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A stretch of ground, or a line or surface, that rises or falls at an angle instead of lying flat.
A slope can be a natural feature, such as a hillside or the side of a mountain, or a deliberately built one, such as a wheelchair ramp designed to replace a flight of steps. As a verb, to slope means to slant at an angle, so a roof that sheds rain effectively is said to slope steeply away from its ridge. Mathematicians borrow the same idea for graphs, where the slope of a line measures exactly how steeply it rises or falls between two points. In informal British English, to slope off means to leave quietly and without permission, usually to avoid work or an awkward duty, an image drawn from slipping away at an angle rather than walking out directly.
How SLOPE is used
Very common in everyday speech for hillsides, ramps and roofs, and equally standard in mathematics for describing the steepness of a line on a graph.
- The path wound steeply up the slope toward the summit.
- Water drained easily because the yard sloped gently toward the street.
- The teacher asked the class to calculate the slope of the line on the graph.
- A wooden ramp let wheelchairs cross the slope beside the main steps.
- He tried to slope off early before anyone noticed he had left.
