Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, defined as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.
The formula to convert slope to degrees is:
Degrees=arctan(Slope)×180π
Consider a slope of 0.5 (rise/run):
Using the formula:
\text{Degrees} = \arctan(0.5) \times \frac{180}{\pi} \approx 26.57°
This means the angle is approximately 26.57 degrees.
