kk. ill explain it.   in any graphing problem, you want to get it in y=mx+b form. m=slope and b= y-intercept. so fist simplify the problem by subtracting 4 from both sides to get y by itslef. now the problem is y=2(x-6) - 4 simplify 2(x-6) and now you have y=2x - 12 - 4 now add -12 and -4 together and you have y=2x-16. as mentioned before in y=mx + b form, m = slope. so 2 is the slope.   hope this helped!

the slope is just the coefficient of x, so in this case it is 2
