The equation of the line is given in the slope-intercept form:

$y = mx + b$

where:

• $m$ is the slope of the line, and
• $b$ is the y-intercept.

In the equation $y = 2x + 7$, the coefficient of $x$ is 2. This means the slope $m$ is 2.

So, the slope of the line is 2.

1. How do you find the y-intercept of the line $y = 2x + 7$?
2. What is the slope of a line parallel to $y = 2x + 7$?
3. What is the slope of a line perpendicular to $y = 2x + 7$?
4. How do you find the equation of a line with a slope of 2 that passes through the point (3, 4)?
5. How would the graph of the line $y = 2x + 7$ look?

Tip: The slope tells you how steep the line is. A positive slope means the line rises as you move from left to right.
