Question

Find the slope of the line determined by the equation 2x=y

Answer 1

The slope is 2 or 2/1

Answer 2

The slope is "2" (or "$\frac{2}{1}$" .
_____________________________________
Explanation:  When a linear equation is in "slope-intercept format"; that is,
____________________
  y = mx + b ;  
________________
  "m" (the coefficient of "x" (the slope); and "b = the y-intercept.
_________________________
We are given the equation:
___________________________
"2x = y";  which can be written as:
↔  "y = 2x" ;
       which is in "slope-intercept form", in the sense that: y = 2x + 0 ;  (b = 0) .
_____________________________________________________
                                           y = mx + b;  m = 2, or 2/1, which is the slope, which is Δy/Δy, which is rise/run, which is our answer.
