    Inclination is usually used to describe a person's tendency to do something. An incline is the word you need.
    A slope is used to describe a gentle incline.
    A gradient is used in maths.

    Thanks, anyway I've enter mathwebs and got the answers.

    Slope and inclination are the same meaning in maths, however, I realize that slope is denoted in a number without measurement unit, whereas, inclination is denoted in number with measurement unit , for example: degree

    Slope is 1 = inclination is 45 degrees
