The slope of the line is
3
.
First, solve the equation for y:
Slope-intercept form is where y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Since m = 3, the slope of the line is
3
.

Well, to find the slope, you'd have to rearrange the equation so that it is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b.
3x-y=0
-y=-3x+0
y=3x+0
The slope would be 3/1, and the line intersects y at point (0,0).
Hope this helps :-)
