A slope is a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another; a rising or falling surface.
"he slithered helplessly down the slope"
Some real life examples of slope include: in building roads one must figure out how steep the road will be. skiers/snowboarders need to consider the slopes of hills in order to judge the dangers, speeds, etc. when constructing wheelchair ramps, slope is a major consideration.
