The easiest way to do this is to use the slope intercept form of a line.
y = mx + b ; where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
You are given

or

so in this case, m = 2. Thus the slope is 2

Only use if you're given two points on the line. Here, you could find two arbitrary points and find their slope, but instead just write it in y = mx + b form --> y = 2x. Therefore the slope is 2.
