A diagonal line slants or slopes, while a vertical line goes straight up and down.
Diagonal means a line that is not vertical or horizontal, but in between. i.e. / or \
It is neither. A diagonal line occupies the range of everything in between those two absolutes.

A diagonal line is a straight line that connects two non-adjacent corners of a shape, typically forming a 45-degree angle with the sides of the shape. An oblique line, on the other hand, is any line that is neither horizontal nor vertical, and can be at any angle other than 90 degrees. In essence, all diagonal lines are oblique, but not all oblique lines are diagonal.
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
No. A row is horizontal and a column is vertical.

No. The diagonal through a rectangle can be computed via the Pythagorean theorem: c2 = a2 + b2 where c is the diagonal length and a and b are the horizontal and vertical lengths of the rectangle.
The diagonal or line segment
diagonal lines can either increase or decrease height or width depending on their angle. If the diagonal line is closer to vertical it adds height and decreases width. If the diagonal line is closer to horizontal, it adds width and decreases height.
