The slope on a graph is "rise over run" (rise/run) The equation for slope is mx + b = y. (the mx is the slope) To find the slope, you will see two points on your graph. From one point, count either upwards or downwards from the y axis till you reach to where the other point is. (this is the rise) After finding the rise, you will then count either left or right across the x axis till you count to the other point. For example, if you had one point at (-3,4) and another at (6,2) The rise would be 6, and the run would be 6 as well. hope this helps
