Identify equation in slope-intercept form: Identify the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Recognize given equation: Recognize that the given equation y=6x+2 is already in slope-intercept form, with m (the coefficient of x) representing the slope.
Determine the slope: Determine the slope by looking at the coefficient of x in the equation. The slope m is 6.
