Conventionally slope is (delta y)/(delta x) which is the tangent of the angle the slope makes with the x-axis. ----

consider that, and thus assume a point relative to (0,0) where:

x = 1

y = slope also, this little formula:

Tan( theta ) = y / x and we get:

theta = ArcTan( slope )

(not the nonsensical 90/(slope+1) that I edited away....that just makes no sense)

How do you convert a slope percent into a degree?

"Percent Slope" is a representation that uses the ratio between the rise and run to describe the triangle formed. "Degree slope" is the measure of the angle formed. You can simply take the percent and divide by 100 to get back to the real ratio and then take the inverse tan of that number to give you the degrees of slope.

How do you convert slope percent into tan degree value?

Let m be the slope in percent and theta be the angle in question. tan (theta) = m/100 theta = arctan (m/100) To verify the result, we know the following: tan 0 = 0 tan (45 degrees) = 1 = 100% tan (90 degrees) = infinity For example, if 0 < m < 100%, then 0 < theta < 45 degrees.
