declividade de uma reta.


Explanation:
Opção.

Diria assim, uma vez que estamos falando em cálculo matemático - traduziria "line" como "reta".

- How to find the slope of a line given two points or its graph, whether the slope is positive, negative or undefined or the line is vertical or horizontal.
