To calculate the slope of the line thru (35,37) and (6, 8), use the slope formula.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Let (x1, y1) = (35, 37) and (x2, y2) = (6, 8).
x1 = 35, x2 = 6, y1 = 37, y2 = 8
m = (8 - 37)/(6 - 35)
m = -29/(-29)
m = 1
Therefore, the slope is 1.

slope = (8-37) / (6-35) = -29 / -29 = 1
the slope is one

What do you mean by slope? Gradient?
(37-8)/(35-6)=1
which means it's horizontal.

6 - 35 = -29
8 - 37 = -29
-29/-29 = 1
The slope is one.

slope (m) = [(y2) - (y1)] / [(x2) - (x1)]
the 1 and 2 are subscripts and specify which variable to use...
m = [(37) - (8)] / [(35) - (6)]
m = [29] / [29]
m = 1

m = (37-8) / (35-6)
m = 1

= rise/run
= (37-8) / (35-6)
=1
rise is the change in vertical position - or change in 'y'
run is the change in horizontal position - or change in 'x'

use this formula:
m= y2-y1/x2-x1
