Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

[ANSWER IS BELOW]

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

  • Finding the slope of an equation is rather easy.
  • For this answer, we will be using the general slope-intercept form.

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\text{Slope-Intercept Form:}\\\\y = mx + b\\\\\rightarrow m - slope\\\\\rightarrow b - \text{y-intercept}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

  • The number in front of the 'x' should be the slope, as it is in 'm's place.
  • If the equation is NOT in slope-intercept form, you would have to solve for y so it would be in the slope-intercept form, and then locate 'm's place.

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{\underline{Side Note:}}}\\\\\text{The Slope Formula}\\\\m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \\\\\rightarrow \text{rise - } y_2-y_1\\\\\rightarrow \text{run - } x_2 - x_1\\\\\\\boxed{m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
