Question

Consider the following function: y=6x +13. What is the slope of this function?

Answer 1

We are asked to find the slope of the function

`y=6x+13`

Equation of a line is given by the form

`y=mx+b`

Where m is the slope and b is the intercept on the y-axis.

Comparing

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b\text{ } \\ to \\ y=6x+13 \end{gathered}`

We can see that m = 6.

Therefore, the slope of the function is 6
