What is "twice the slope"?

[bandXtrb]

What is the physical meaning of twice the slope (of a line)? thanks.

You're doubling the rate of change?

Physically, for example, it is an incline is twice as severe if it has "twice the slope" as another line.

Twice the change in y-value divided by the change in x-value?

It's been about 100 yrs, but is a line of the form y = mx + b, and m is the slope, so 2m is twice as steep as m ? Just guessin here folks
