The slope is the value for "m" in the slope-intercept form of the equation.  Your equation is in that form already.  That form is y = mx + b.  Line up the variables and take "m".

I don't get it. Eliminate two wrong answers.

Just line up the corresponding symbols between the original equation and the form of the general slope-intercept equation that I gave to you.  I already did 90% of the problem for you.  You have very little left to do.

I still don't get it. You made it even more confusing to me.

The explanation I gave you is the shortest, simplest, and clearest explanation that can be given for this problem.  If you follow my explanation, you don't even need to know any algebra whatsoever to get the answer.  Any further explanation would just hand you the answer.
