The equation is already in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b
The slope is the coefficient in front of the x. That is, the "m".
In this case, your slope is 10.
Wanna know why?
When x = 0, y = 10*0 + 3 = 3
When x = 1, y = 10*1 + 3 = 13
As you go from (0,3) to (1, 13),
your x-coordinate goes up by 1
and your y-coordinate goes up by 10.
Slope = rise/run = (change in y)/(change in x)
Hence, slope is 10/1 = 10
Hope that helps!

This is the equation of a line in the "MX + B" format. "M" is the slope of the line, so if Y=10X + 3, the slope is "10".
The significance of the slope is it is the ratio of the change of Y and the corresponding change of X. For example, if X is 1 then Y is 13. If x is 3, then Y is now 33. The change in x was 2, since 3-1 = 2. The change in Y was 20, which is 33 - 13. The slope is (33-13)/(3-1) and this is true for any two points on the line - as long as the X and Y points are subtracted in the same order.
"B" is known as the "intercept". It is what Y equals when x=0. This is also where the line crosses the horizontal X axis. In the example above, this is "3". The slope can also be used to find the intercept. Rearranging the equation (using algebra) yields B = Y - MX. If the slope is 10 and Y=23 and X =2 then it is easy to see B = 3.

Explanation: The slope of the equation y=mx+c is 'm'.
Therefore the slope of the equation y=10x+3 is '10'

the derivate of a function provides the slope at every point.
you can get the slope of this function using the method indicated:
y=10x+3
=> dy/dx=10.
Thus the slope of the linear equation is 10

The slope is the type next to x; -10! Slope is calculated as substitute in y/substitute in x. additionally common as upward thrust/run; The slope here could be -10/a million; this implies it is going right down to instruments for every person unit precise. to respond to your 2d question: For linear equations (y=x), confident. in basic terms observe the 2d portion of the equation (+3 hence), which shifts the entire line up 3 instruments. It does not influence the slope, even with the shown fact that!

This is the equation of a linear function. The slope is simply the steepness of the line; the higher the slope, the steeper the line is going to be on a graph. In this case, the slope is 10. How did I get this? All you need to do is take the coeffecient of x(which is 10) and you have your slope.

The slope is 10
The slope intercept equation is in the form
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y intercept.
Your equation
y = 10x + 3
By definition the slope is 10 and the y intercept is 3

An equation of the type: y = mx + c is called the Slope-Intercept Form of a straight line.
Here the coefficient of 'x' i.e. 'm' is called the slope of the straight line and 'c' is called the y-intercept.
So for: y = 10x + 3, 10 is the slope as it is the coefficient of 'x',

There are no steps in this situation. the equation for a line is y=mx+b. y and x are the plotted points, m is the slope and b is y (axis) intersect. So your slope is 10.
