Given the equation of the line:


y=3x

You can identify that it has this form:


y=mx

This is the form of a line that passes through the Origin, where "m" is the slope of the line.

In this case, you can identify that:


m=3

Since it passes through the Origin, the y-intercept as a Coordinate Pair is:


(0,0)

Hence, the answer is:

• Slope:


m=3

• y-intercept:


(0,0)
