Question

What is the slope of the line?

y = 2x - 7

slope = _____

Answer 1

hello!

==========================================================

You should notice that the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form.

Slope-Intercept Form looks like so:-

`\bigstar{\boxed{y=mx+b}`

Where

m -> slope & b -> y-intercept

Note:-

Have you noticed that the slope is the coefficient of x?

That's right :)

Hence, the slope of the line is

`\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{2}}`

=======================================================

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)

Answer 2

We have y=2x-7, and it has form y=ax+b
a parameter is called slope. In our case a=2 so, slope is 2.
