Slope: $3$ $3$
Intercept: $- 1$ $-1$

The coefficient of $x$ $x$ in your equation is always your slope, so your slope is $3$ $3$ .

From the equation you would also know that any number behind the $x$ $x$ is always your intercept, so your intercept is $- 1$ $-1$

graph{3x-1 [-3.464, 3.465, -1.732, 1.732]}
