Answer:

Most people would do it by subtracting your 2 y points (any points) and dividing the by the two x points. Basically, y2-y1/x2-x1. Hoped I could help you on this one.

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).
