.

The given equation is equivalent to

                y = 2x + 1,

meaning that the slope  (a coefficient at  x  in this equation)  is  2.         ANSWER

Find the slope and y-intercept of the equation: -2x+y=1
- 2x + y = 1

       y = 2x + 1 ---- Adding 2x to both sides to get equation in the "y = mx + b" form

Compare the above to y = mx + b, where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.
