Yes! Note that the given equation is already in the slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b where: m = the slope and b = the y-intercept. Compare this with the given equation.
y = 3x + 2 and you can easily see that m = 3 so the slope of your line is 3.

Ok listen it's really quite simple. Your 3 is the slope. You know the formula y=mx+b? "m" is your slope and "b" is your y intercept so that question is a given. Its 3. Just remember that equation and its really quite simple.
