slope = 2 , y-intercept = 3
Explanation:
One of the forms of the equation of a straight line is y = mx + c where m represents the slope and c, the y-intercept.
In this question the equation y = 2x + 3 is in this form and by directly
comparing y = 2x + 3 with y = mx + c we obtain : m = 2 and c = 3 .
This diagram shows the equation y = 2x + 3
