$m=3$ (the slope) and the y-intercept $S(0;9)$

The equation has the form
$y=mx+n$ so the slope is given by $3$ and the y-intercept
$S(0;9)$

I tried this:

You have an equation of a line in the form:

$y=mx+c$

i.e.

$y="slope"*x+"y-intercept"$

so in your case you have:

$"slope"=3$
$"y-intercept"=9$

How do you find the slope and y intercept of y = 3x + 9y = 3x + 9?
