Given:

The given equation is


y=3x

To find:

Whether the given equation is in the slope intercept form or not, then find the slope and y-intercept.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a linear function is


y=mx+b ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have,


y=3x

It can be written as


y=3x+0 ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get


m=3,b=0

Therefore, the given equations is in slope intercept form. The slope of the line is 3 and the y-intercept is 0.
