What is the slope of the line given by the equation, y = 3x – 2?

  1. –3

  2. 3

  3. 2

  4. -2

The correct answer is: 3

The slope of a line can be found by looking at the number in front of the variable (x). In this equation, the number in front of x is 3, so the slope is 3. A is incorrect because a negative sign in front of the number indicates a downward slope, which is not the case here. C and D are incorrect because they are constants and do not affect the slope of the line.
