y = 3x-2
Lines are in the form y = mx + b, where "m" is the slope.
So, your slope is +3.

y = 3x - 2 is already in the form y=mx + b where m is the slope & b is the y intercept.
the slope is m=3

This is of thegeneral form y = mx + c
where m is the slope
hence the slope m = 3

the basic equation is y=mx+b
m is the slope and will be before the coefficient (x)
b will always be the y intercept (where the graph crosses the y axis.)
to find the slope simply look at the number in front of the x.

the slope of a line is the coefficient of x...in this problem, the slope is 3

this is in y = mx + b form, so your slope is m (3). This isn't really algebra 2 is it? if so american standards are low. i did this in 5th grade.

Umm y=3x - 2 = xy= -5 i think
