Slope of any line is the angle by which any line is inclined to the x axis.Slope is the ratio of rise and run.

Slope =
(Rise)/(Run)..The vertical change between two points is called the rise, and the horizontal change is called the run.

In the given question Marty's has a slope
(2)/(3) and Ethan has a slope
(2)/(5) .

As the slope is positive the line will move up then right.Line with slope .Marty is haveing a greater slope than Ethan.

In second case Marty's slope is
(1)/(3)and Ethan slope is
(1)/(5)

Here Marty will have a greater slope.
