Remember the "slope-intercept" form of a line is:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intecept
.
Given that you have:
y=8x-10
which is in the "slope-intercept" form.
By inspection then, we see that the slope is:
8

Hi,
the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
y=8x-10 is in slope-intercept form m = 8
Parallel lines have identical slopes:
the slope of the line parallel to y=8x-10?
the slope of that line is m = 8 as well
