A 6.5% roadway grade means that for each 100 feet traveled, the road rises or descends 6.5 feet. While that might not sound like much, consider that a road might descend for a mile or more in mountainous areas. In traveling just 1000 feet down such a road, you will descend or rise 65 feet. So the answer is yes, that is a pretty precipitous (or steep) grade.
You can easily draw a slope defined in percentages using a grid or a piece of graph paper.
