The slope is 2.

This equation is in point-slope form, shown here:

We know that the slope is the value multiplied by #(x-x_1)#, so in our equation the slope is 2 .

Hope this helps!

#2#

Recall point-slope form

#y-y_1=m(x-x_1)#, where #x_1# and #y_1# are points, and #m# is our slope.

We can subtract #3# from both sides to now get

#y-3=2(x-1)#

We see that our coefficient on the #x# term is #2#. This is our slope.

Hope this helps!
