Hi,
Note:  Given two ordered pairs (x,y) one can determine the slope of the line passing thru those two points 
by using the definiton of what the slope is:
The (change in y-values)/(change in x-values)
{{{m =(y[2] - y[1])/(x[2] - x[1])}}}
(5,8) 
(0,1)  given these two Points, {{{m = (8-1)/(5-0) = 7/5}}}
