Answer: Slope is rise over run, or y over x. So for the first one the slope is 60/30 or 2. If you wanna find the slope between two points you would do y2-y1 over x2-x1. For example if we use the first two points which are 60/30 and 50/40, it would be 50-60 over 40-30, which gives you -10/10. That can be simplified down to -1/1. That means that you have went down one and right one on your graph. You can apply these rules to many basic slope problems. I hope this helps! :)
