The formula for slope is $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)$

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)$

The points $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(x_1, y_1)$ and #(x_2, y_2) are interchangeable.

$m = \frac{3 - 10}{1 - 8}$ $m = (3 - 10) / (1 - 8)$

$m = - \frac{7}{- 7}$ $m = -7/-7$

$m = 1$ $m = 1$

The line's slope is of 1.
