A binomial doesn't have a slope.
------
Slope is the change in y divided by the change in x.
2x+3 has no y.

The slope is the coefficient of x, which is 2,  That means the equation of the line

y = 2x+3


Starts at the number 3 on the y-axis and rises 2 units upward for every unit it
moves to the right. (Notice that the green rectangle is 2 times as tall as it
is wide):
