Answer:

l: 1

k: 2

Explanation:

The slope of a line is "the amount it goes up divided by the amount it goes right".

So if you pick a point on the line, and then step one grid position to the right, how much does it go up (or down, then you have a negative slope)?

In line l, it goes up one grid position for every step to the right, hence the slope is 1.

In line k, it goes up two positions for every step to the right, hence the slope there is 2.

Hope this explains it.
