Answer:

slope = 2, y-intercept = 3

Explanation:

» Concepts

All straight lines can follow the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where y = y-coordinate, m = slope, x = x-coordinate, and b = y-intercept. The slope is the constant rate of change, and the y-intercept is where the line intersects at the y-axis.

» Application

We are asked to find the slope and y-intercept of the equation, y = 2x +3, given the form y = mx + b. As you can see, in the place of m (the slope), there is the number 2, making the slope 2. Then, in the place of b (the y-intercept), there is the number 3, making the y-intercept 3.
