Question 587895
How do I work the equation:
What is the slope of the line whose equation is y=2x+7?
Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
For given equation: y=2x+7
slope, m=2
y-intercept=7
see the graph below to get a visual of what this line looks like.
note the slope=∆y/∆x=rise/run=2, and the y-intercept=7
