*The [[slope number]] of a graph is the minimum number of distinct edge slopes needed in a drawing with straight line segment edges (allowing crossings). [[Cubic graph]]s have slope number at most four, but graphs of degree five may have unbounded slope number; it remains open whether the slope number of degree-4 graphs is bounded.<ref name="ps09"/> | *The [[slope number]] of a graph is the minimum number of distinct edge slopes needed in a drawing with straight line segment edges (allowing crossings).
