slope = 6
Explanation:
The equation of a line in
#color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is
#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(a/a)|)))#
where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.The advantage to having the equation in this form is that m and b can be extracted 'easily'.
The equation y = 6x - 2 is in this form and by inspection
slope = 6
