Question

What is the slope of the line with equation y−3=(x−2)?

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

y - 3 = (x - 2)

Solve for y. Then when the equation is in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, m is the slope.

y - 3 = x - 2

Add 3 to both sides.

y = x + 1

Compare to y = mx + b: y = 1x + 1

m = 1

Answer: The slope is 1.

Answer 2

1

Explanation:

The slope of the line (when in point-slope form) will be the coefficient of the term on the right side of the equation. In this case that is 1.
