    A slope could be simply calculated as rise over run. Rise would mean the vertical step, while run is the horizontal step. Thus,

    Slope = rise/run

    Let x - horizontal change

    0.37 = 1/x

    0.37x = 1

    X = 1/0.37

    X = 0.63

    Thus, the horizontal change is 0.63 units.

    I hope I was able to answer your question. Have a good day.
