The slope is $m = 2$ $color(red)(m = 2)$

Because this equation is already in the slope-intercept form we can obtain the slope directly from the equation.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: $y = m x + b$ $y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)$

Where $m$ $color(red)(m)$ is the slope and $b$ $color(blue)(b)$ is the y-intercept value.

Or, for this equation:

$y = 2 x + 7$ $y = color(red)(2)x + color(blue)(7)$

Therefore the slope is $m = 2$ $color(red)(m = 2)$
