Recall that the slope-intercept form of a line goes as follows:
y = mx + b
Where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
Since y = 2x + 7, and m is the number in front of the x, m = 2, so the slope is 2.

Assuming that this is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form then the slope is 2. The general form of the equation is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is the y-intercept.

This equation is in what is known as the "slope-intercept" form. This form is: y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y intercept. Accordingly, the slope is 2.

It's the multiplier of the x: in this case, 2.
