<u>Given</u>:
The given equation of the line is 
We need to determine the slope of the equation.
<u>Slope</u>:
Let us determine the slope of the equation.
The general form of the equation of the line is given by

where m is the slope of the equation and b is the y - intercept.
Now, we shall compare the general form of the equation of the line with the given equation, we have;
and 
Thus, the slope of the equation of the line is
