$slope = 3$ $"slope" = 3$

$intercept = - 1$ $"intercept" = -1$

Given;

$y = 3 x - 1$ $y = 3x - 1$

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;

$y = m x + c$ $y = mx + c$

Comparing both equations;

$y = m x + c \Rightarrow y = 3 x - 1$ $y = mx + c rArr y = 3x - 1$

$slope \Rightarrow m = 3$ $"slope" rArr m = 3$

$intercept \Rightarrow c = - 1$ $"intercept" rArr c = -1$
