The slope is 3 and the y"-intercept is "2

Explanation:

The slope is the number that multiplies x in the function: y=mx+n, m is the slope. In this case, the slope is 3.

The y-intercept is the point in the graph where the line crosses the y axis. This cross happens when x=0. In this case, y=3⋅0+2=2. So, the y-intercept is 2
