$y - 2 x = - 16$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Step 1.1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 1.2

Add $2 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = - 16 + 2 x$

Step 1.3

Reorder $- 16$ and $2 x$ .

$y = 2 x - 16$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $2$ .

$m = 2$
