Given a point-slope form equation, we can easily locate of the slope of the linear equation. As a review, the point-slope form can be expressed as
where y₁ and x₁ are the x and y-coordinates of the equation and m is the slope. Seeing that (y-2) = 3(x-1) is already in this form, we can clearly see that the slope of the equation is equal to 3.
Answer: 3
