We have (rewritten)
f(x)=3x+19.

This is a linear function of a form


f(x)=mx+n where m is a slope.

Hence the slope is 3.

Hope this helps.

In this question, you're trying to find the slope of the equation.

In order to find the slope, you must make the equation in to slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

Turn the equation into slope-intercept form:

y - 3x=19

Add 3x to both sides

y = 3x + 19

Now it's in slope-intercept form ,the slope is represented with the "x" variable.

Therefore, your slope would be 3.

Answer:

Your slope is 3
