The slope is "2" (or "
" .
_____________________________________
Explanation: When a linear equation is in "slope-intercept format"; that is,
____________________
y = mx + b ;
________________
"m" (the coefficient of "x" (the slope); and "b = the y-intercept.
_________________________
We are given the equation:
___________________________
"2x = y"; which can be written as:
↔ "y = 2x" ;
which is in "slope-intercept form", in the sense that: y = 2x + 0 ; (b = 0) .
_____________________________________________________
y = mx + b; m = 2, or 2/1, which is the slope, which is Δy/Δy, which is rise/run, which is our answer.
