Slope

Slope represents the ratio of rise over run. It can be calculated by finding the change in y divided by the change in x.
A line that rises from left to right has a positive slope. A line that falls from left to right has a negative slope. A horizontal line has a zero slope and a vertical line has an undefined slope.
To find slope from a graph, you can count the units of rise and divide by the units of run. Or, you can choose any two points and find the change in y divided by the change in x.
