Reverse Slope Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Reverse Slope. 

RSL = X / Y

• Where RSL is the Reverse Slope (run/rise)
• X is the slope run 
• Y is the slope rise 

To calculate a reverse slope, divide the slope run by the slope rise.

How to Calculate Reverse Slope?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Reverse Slope.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the slope run.
   • The slope run is given as: 50.
2. Next, determine the slope rise.
   • The slope rise is provided as: 30.
3. Finally, calculate the Reverse Slope using the equation above: 

RSL = X / Y

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

RSL = 50 / 30 = 1.667 (run/rise)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

slope run = 60

slope rise = 20

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.

RSL = X / Y = ?
