The format of a linear equation is y=mx+b. The slope is "m" (written as a fraction) and the y-intercept is "b".
In your example, m=1 (since x=1x) and b=2
So, the slope is 1/1 and the y-intercept is +2

This equation is in the form: y= mx + c, where m is the gradient (slope) and c is the intercept. So the intercept is 2 and the gradient is 1.

Slope is basically the number that goes in front of the x when the y is by itself on the other side.
In this case, it would be 1, since regular x is the same thing as 1 times x.
The y intercept is basically the number that is by itself, times -1. In this case, it would be -2 since that's what 2(-1) is.

The slope is obtained from the gradient of the line.
The Equation y=mx +c
m = gradient = tan (theta)
Intercept = c
In this case
gradient = tan (theta) = 1 = tan 45
slope = theta =45 degree
Intercept = 2

y = mx + c
has slope m and y intercept c
y = x + 2
has slope 1 and y intercept 2

slope of a line in y=mx +b is m
m = slope
b = y-intercept
m in this equation is 1
b = 2
Therefore, the slope is 1 an the y-intercept is (0,2).
