Answer: Slope = 3

Explanation:

In order to find the slope of this line, I am going to look at the number in front of x.

Our equation is:

$\sf{y=3x-7}$

The number before x is 3.

Note that this method only works for slope-intercept equations. You can recognize slope-intercept form if you memorize the following:

y=mx+b is the slope-intercept formula, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
