What determines the slope of the IS curve?

What determines the slope of the IS curve?
There are two factors, namely:

The responsive of investment to a change in interest rate; and The size of the multiplier.

Conclusions:
The more responsive investment is to a change in interest rate, the flatter is the IS curve and vice versa;

The bigger is the multiplier, the flatter is the IS curve, vice
versa.
