About this worksheet
Start at the left point, count up or down to the level of the right point (the rise), then count across (the run). A line going down from left to right has a negative slope.
Finding slope from a graph worksheet generator
This generator makes finding slope from a graph worksheets. Each problem shows a line on a small grid with two marked points, and students count the rise and the run.

Teaching tip
Let students draw the rise and run as a little staircase on the grid. It makes the sign of the slope obvious.
