Inclination dependence of the continuum slopes β, defined by fitting the emergent spectrum with a power law fλ(i)∝λβ over six rest-frame wavelength windows: softX (50–200 Å), XUV (200–600 Å), EUV (600–900 Å), FUV (1200–1800 Å), UV (2000–3000 Å), and optical (4500–6500 Å), as indicated in the legend. The calculations assume a fiducial super-Eddington accretor with MBH = 107.5M and = 12.4 (Model B). At low-to-intermediate inclinations (i ≲ 35°) the slopes are nearly constant, while toward edge-on views the ionizing continuum softens: βsoftX, βXUV, and βEUV increase markedly, whereas the FUV changes only modestly and the UV and optical slopes remain nearly unchanged.
