See the solution process below:

We can rewrite this equation as:

$y = 1x + 0$

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: $y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)$

Where $color(red)(m)$ is the slope and $color(blue)(b)$ is the y-intercept value.

For this equation:

$y = color(red)(1)x + color(blue)(0)$

Therefore:

The slope is $color(red)(m = 1)$

The y-intercept is $color(blue)(b = 0)$ or $(0, 0)$
