To find the slope in a linear equation of the form y=mx+b, just look for the 'm' term! This sneaky letter tells you exactly how steep your line is.
From my experience crunching numbers, I always check the coefficient of x for the slope. Easy peasy!
Look at the numerator of the change in y over the change in x. That's your slope!
