#"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#
