The slope is defined as (rise) divided by (run). It doesn't matter which one
you measure first, as long as you divide them in the right order.

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.
In mathematics, a constant rate of change is called a slope. For linear functions, the slope would describe the curve of the function. The world "constant" in this context means the slope and therefore angle of the curve will not change.
yes, change in y over change in x equals slope
the slope of a line = the Change in Y divided by the Change in X
This would mean that on a graph, a change of 100 on the x axis would be accompanied by a change of 1 on the y axis.
