Answer:

slope = 1

y-intercept = 0

Explanation:

Follow the equation: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept.

slope = 1

Reason: slope cannot be 0, because if it is, then m * x = 0. When there is no slope given, it is implied that it is 1.

y-intercept = 0

Reason: There is no constant attached (b), and so there is no y-intercept.
