Problema Solution

write the equation in standard form and find slope

y=2x+3

Answer provided by our tutors

"standard form" means the form "Ax + By + C = 0" where A, B, and C are all whole numbers and A is positive


y = 2x + 3


2x - y + 3 = 0 is the standard form


the slope m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) where y2 = 2*x2 + 1 and y1 = 2*x1 + 3


y2 - y1 = 2*(x2 - x1)


m = 2*(x2 - x1)/(x2 - x1)


m = 2


the slope is 2.
