Slope Analysis in Architectural Drafting

An architect is plotting a vertical support pillar on a coordinate grid, which is represented by the equation x=18x = 18. When calculating the slope (mm) between any two points on this pillar using the formula m=y2−y1x2−x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}, what specific numerical value does the denominator (x2−x1x_2 - x_1) result in, and what is the mathematical term used to describe the slope of this pillar?
