Slope is represented by m 
So when you see an question like y = mx + b, m is the slope 
You can calculate slope using this formula: (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) 
Lets use the points (1, 3) and (2, 10) 
y2 is 10 
y1 is 3 
x2 is 2 
x1 is 1 
(10 - 3)/(2 - 1) 
10 - 3 = 7 
2 - 1 = 1 
The slope would be 7. 
Therefore, m = 7
