Are Slope and Gradient the Same Thing?

Gradient: (Mathematics) The degree of steepness of a graph at any point. Slope: The gradient of a graph at any point.

Is the slope also the gradient?

The Gradient (also called Slope) of a straight line shows how steep a straight line is.

What is the difference between gradient and slope?

The slope can be defined as the magnitude of inclination whereas the gradient can be defined as the magnitude of greatest slope. For example, gradient is a multivariable functions whereas the slope is one dimensional or single variable function.
