The slope of the line can be calculated as:

(1-7) / (10-1) = -6 / 9 = -2/3

M (Slope of a line) = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Plug in the points accordingly.

M = 1 - 7 / 10 - 1
M = -6 / 9
M = -2 / 3 (simplified)

Therefore M = -2/3

Linear function :The characteristic property of linear functions is that when the input variable is changed, the change in the output is proportional to the change in the input. Linear functions are related to linear equations.
