isocline
Constant inclination curve
An isocline is a line on a map or diagram connecting points of equal inclination or slope.
In geology, it refers to a fold so tightly compressed that both limbs dip in the same direction at nearly the same angle.
In mathematics, isoclines are curves along which solutions to differential equations have the same slope, used to sketch direction fields: Draw the isoclines to visualize the family of solutions.
