Hi, there---
.
If you convert this equation to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), the slope is given as m, the coefficient of the x-term. This only works if the equation is in the correct form. So we want to isolate y on the left-hand side of the equation. Subtact 2x from both sides.

.
Multiply both sides of the equation by -1.

.
The coefficient of the x-term is 2, so the slope is 2.
.
Good luck.
