The slope is 2.

This equation is in point-slope form, shown here:

We know that the slope is the value multiplied by $(x-x_1)$ , so in our equation the slope is 2 .

Hope this helps!

$2$

Recall point-slope form

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ , where $x_1$ and $y_1$ are points, and $m$ is our slope.

We can subtract $3$ from both sides to now get

$y-3=2(x-1)$

We see that our coefficient on the $x$ term is $2$ . This is our slope.

Hope this helps!
