the slope is 1.
y = mx + b is the general form where m is the slope.
You can rewrite your equation as follows:
y = 1x + 0
so, m = 1 and b= 0

A handy formula for any line is called the point slope form and is y=mx+b where m is the slope and be is the x intercept (y=0).
In your equation the slope is 1 and the line passes through the origin (b=0).

In any equation with the general form y=mx+b, the coefficient of x (m) is the slope of the line. For your equation, the coefficient is 1 and so isn't explicitly shown, but it's there..

the undemanding sort of the equation for slope and y-intercept is y = m * x + b the place m is the slope. So your equation must be written as y = (-a million) * x + 3 and your m fee...the slope... is (-a million).

equation of a straight line is y(x) = mx + b
here m = 1 and b=0
m is the slope

y=mx+b
y=1x+0
m=slope
b=y-intercept
So the slope is 1!
