If the graph is not a straight line, then it has different slopes at different points,

and there's no easy general way to measure it.

It's a lot easier if the graph is a straight line. Here's how to do it:

-- Mark off a section of the line, and ignore the rest of it.

-- Measure how much that part of the line rises from its left end to its right end.

That's the change in 'y'.

-- Measure how much of the 'x' axis that part of the line covers, from its left end

to its right end. That's the change in 'x'.

-- Divide (the change in 'y') by (the change in 'x').

The result of the division is the slope of the line.
