To find the slope of each roof, we need to calculate the rise over run.

How to do it:
1. Rise: Count how many grid squares the roof goes up from the bottom edge to the peak (the highest point).
2. Run: Count how many grid squares the roof goes across horizontally from the edge to directly below the peak.
3. Slope Formula: $\text{Slope} = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}$

Let's solve them one by one:

a)
* Rise: The roof goes up 3 squares.
* Run: From the edge to the center, it goes across 4 squares.
* Slope: $\frac{3}{4}$

b)
* Rise: The roof goes up 2 squares.
* Run: From the edge to the center, it goes across 3 squares.
* Slope: $\frac{2}{3}$

c)
* Rise: The roof goes up 2 squares.
* Run: From the edge to the center, it goes across 4 squares.
* Slope: $\frac{2}{4}$ which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$

d)
* Rise: The roof goes up 4 squares.
* Run: From the edge to the center, it goes across 2 squares.
* Slope: $\frac{4}{2}$ which simplifies to $2$ (or $\frac{2}{1}$)

e)
* Rise: The roof goes up 2 squares.
* Run: From the edge to the center, it goes across 5 squares.
* Slope: $\frac{2}{5}$

f)
* Rise: The roof goes up 3 squares.
* Run: From the edge to the center, it goes across 6 squares.
* Slope: $\frac{3}{6}$ which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$

g)
* Rise: The roof goes up 2 squares.
* Run: From the edge to the center, it goes across 4 squares.
* Slope: $\frac{2}{4}$ which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$

h)
* Rise: The roof goes up 4 squares.
* Run: From the edge to the center, it goes across 4 squares.
* Slope: $\frac{4}{4}$ which simplifies to $1$
