$"slope" = 3$

$"intercept" = -1$

Given;

$y = 3x - 1$

Now to simply find the slope and intercept of the equation you have to compare it with the standard equation of a line which is;

$y = mx + c$

Comparing both equations;

$y = mx + c rArr y = 3x - 1$

$"slope" rArr m = 3$

$"intercept" rArr c = -1$

How do you find the slope and intercept to graph y=3x -1y=3x -1?
