Given:
.
y=3x-2
.
This equation is in the slope-intercept form of:
.
y = mx + b
.
In this form, m (which is the multiplier of x) is the slope and b is the value on the y-axis where the graph crosses the y-axis. For your given problem b is -2.
.
The answer to your question is +3 is the slope because it is the multiplier of x.
.
Hope this helps you to become familiar with the slope-intercept form and specifically what each term in this form represents.
