Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the general form of a linear equation, which is \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) represents the slope and \(b\) represents the y-intercept.
Look at the given equation of line p: \(y = 3x + 2\).
Compare the given equation to the general form to determine the value of \(m\).
Recognize that the coefficient of \(x\) in the equation is the slope of the line.
Conclude that the slope of line p is the coefficient of \(x\), which is 3.
