Answer:
If the graph is rising from left to right, like climbing a hill, the slope is positive (on a graph, you could count up y units divided by right x units). If it is going down from left to right (like sliding down a hill), the slope is negative (on a graph you have to count down y units and right x units). Does this help?
Step-by-step explanation:
Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates.
Determine the difference in y-coordinates of these two points (rise).
Determine the difference in x-coordinates for these two points (run).
Divide the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates (rise/run or slope).
