Slope = (vertical change)/(horizontal change), commonly referred to as rise/run.

If the graph is a straight line, then you can count squares or measure how much change in vertical, over a specified change in horizontal.

If it is a curve, then you need to have a tangent line (a line that touches the curve at a specific point and has the same slope as the line), then you can determine the slope of that line using the method described, above.
