Find the slope of the line
Find the slope of the line
To find the slope of any line, we must get the equation into the form
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
To manipulate our equation into this form, we must solve for y. First, we must move the x term to the right side of our equation by subtracting it from both sides.
To isolate y, we now must divide each side by 3.
Now our equation is in the desired form. The coefficient of our x term is our slope, 
. Therefore
