Add 
on both sides and subtract 
on both sides to leave x's on the left side and independent values on the right.
Solve the fractions.
Convert the mixed fraction 
to an improper fraction. You can do this by multiplying 1 times 35 and adding 2.
Now use the reciprocal (inverse fraction) and multiply on both sides to isolate x.
Well on a table of data, if the y coordinates increase a lot over a short x distance then it will be steep.
In an equation, you would put it into y = mx + b form and whatever your m is will be your slope. If m is large, it will be steep.
Here's what I got for the first question.
