Answer:
The slope of a linear equation will always be the coefficient of the "x" variable when the equation is equalled to "y", this form is called "slope-intercept form" and the reason for that name is because it easily shows both the slope and the y-intercept of the line.
Check attached image 1 to better understand this concept.
As you may see in the picture, the slope is just the number that multiplies variable "x". Hence, the coefficient of this line is 2.
Check attached image 2 to see the graph of this line. Notice that the y-intercept is 17, as shown in the slope-itercept form of the equation.
