Are you asking about problem 5? If so, your answer is wrong. For the two points you marked, what is the rise (vertical change) and what is the run (horizontal run)?

I get a slope that is less than 1.

In the future, if you post an image, please make more of an effort to post a legible picture. The image you posted was photographed at and angle, and there is a crease in the paper, making it somewhat hard to read.
 
Can you explain where did you got 1from sir,please

I said I got a number less than 1.

From your graph, it appears that the points you're using are (-2, -1) and (3, 2). You have labeled this points, but the image is too poor for me to read them -- I just counted squares on the grid.

If you know two points on a line, how do you find the slope of that line?

No. Are you just guessing?
Do you know the formula for calculating the slope of the line between two points?

In your first post in this thread you wrote:

That is not the formula for the slope of a line.
 
I tried to enhance the image a bit:
