Your equation is in the form of y = mx + b, where m = the slope and b = the y intercept. Thus, your answer is 6.

The slope is 6.
The standard equation for a line is: y=mx+b, where "y" is a function of "x", "m" is the slope or gradient, and "b" is the y-intercept (where the line crosses - if it crosses - the y-axis).
Thus, when you want to find the slope of a line:
1) Convert the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) if it is not already in that form.
2) In accordance with #1, "y" must be positive.
3) The number "m" that is next to "x" (in other words, the number that is multiplied by "x") is the slope. It can be positive or negative, a whole number or a fraction (but rarely a decimal). When there is no number next to "x", the slope of the line is 1. When there is a negative sign next to the "x" (-x), the slope of the line is negative 1.
I hope that helped!

The answer is 6, the slope is the number that you multiply "X" the -2 is the intercept

y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
y = 6x - 2
6 is the slope
-2 is the y-intercept

y = mx + c
mx = gradient/ slope
c = y-intercept
so the slope is 6. Also can be 6/1 if you have to plot a graph

Slope, = tan-1 (6)

6
because it says how much X changes in relation to Y
