Answer:

The slope of this equation is 2.

Explanation:

In a y=mx+b equation, the slope is 'm,' so whatever number is before x in an equation like this is the slope.

So y=mx+b -> y=2x+b -> 2=m, b=-1

Answer:

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation:

y = 2x - 1 → m = 2, b = -1
