Question

In y=x+b,what is the slopeand how you know

Answer 1

Step 1: Write out the slope-intercept formula for the equation of a straight line

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where m is the slope} \end{gathered}`

Step 2: Find the slope of the line y = x + b

Thus , using the slope-intercept formula

The equation

`\begin{gathered} y=x+b \\ m=1 \\ \text{has m is the coefficient of x} \end{gathered}`

Hence the slope of the equation y = x + b is 1

Reason: slope is the coefficient of x
