Slope =2

y-intercept =1

Explanation:

The equation is given in the slope-intercept form. It shows the y-intercept and the slope.

The equation is

y=mx+b

Here

  • m= slope
  • b= y-intercept

Your equation gives you all the answers

y=2x+1

You have both the slope and the y-intercept. The slope would be 2 and the y-intercept would be 1 due to the addition sign in front of it.
