If there's no number in front of x, we can assume it's 1. So the slope would be 1. But hey, if you want to be extra sassy, you could also say the slope is "x" since there's technically an invisible 1 in front of it. But let's keep it simple and stick with 1.

Oh, dude, if there's no number in front of x, it's like having a hidden "1" there. So, the slope would technically be 1. But hey, who's counting, right? Just roll with it.
In any equation or expression where 'x' appears, if there's no number
written next to it, then the number next to it is actually ' 1 '.
The m is the slope in the y=mx+b or the number before the x.
The only difference is that when a slope is expressed as a whole number, ∆x (changes in x-coordinates) is always one unit.For example,m = 3 = 3/1 = ∆y/∆xm = -1/5 = ∆y/∆xm = 7/6 = ∆y/∆x

parallel lines have the same slope. So if you equation if 5y+x=2 for example, you can solve for y and then look at the coefficient of x, that number is the slope. So in the example 5y+x=2, 5y=-x+2 or y=-1/5x+2/5 The slope is -1/5 so any line with that slope will be parallel. The 2/5 is the y intercept or the location where the line hits the y axis. This can be any real number.
To find the slope, you have to solve for Y. The equation is: 4x+3y=3. 1. Subtrace 4x from both sides and you get: 3y=3-4x 2. Divide both sides by 3 so you get: y=(3-4x)/3 3. Simplify: y=1-(4/3)x 4. Rearrange so it is in y=mx+b form: y=-(4/3)x+1 Your slope is the coefficient (or number) in front of the X after you have solved it like this. So, your slope is: -4/3
