Answer:


\large\boxed{\textsf{Slope = 3.}}


\large\boxed{\textsf{Y-Intercept = 0.}}

Explanation:


\textsf{We are given an equation in Slope-Intercept Form.}


\large\underline{\textsf{Slope-Intercept Form informs us that;}}


\tt y = mx + b


\textsf{m represents the Slope.}


\textsf{b represents the Y-Intercept.}


\underline{\textsf{Note that;}}


\textsf{If there's no


\textsf{If there's no


\tt y = 3x


\textsf{Our equation has a slope. The 3 is the value for m.}


\large\boxed{\textsf{Slope = 3.}}


\tt y = 3x


\textsf{Our equation doesn't have a y-intercept. Hence the y-intercept is 0.}


\large\boxed{\textsf{Y-Intercept = 0.}}

The slope is 3 or 3/1 and the Y intercept is 0 or (0,0) because in y=mx+b, is it the slope (3) and b is the y intercept (0)
