Slope is $3$ $3$ and $y$ $y$ intercept is $1$ $1$ .

$\times y = 3 x + 1$ $color(white)xxy=3x+1$

Let $m$ $m$ be the slope:
$\times y = m x + c$ $color(white)xxy=mx+c$
$\times y = 3 x + 1$ $color(white)xxy=3x+1$

Therefore:
$\times m = 3$ $color(white)xxm=3$

For $x = 0$ $x=0$ ,
$\times y = 3 \times 0 + 1$ $color(white)xxy=3xx0+1$
$\Rightarrow y = 1$ $=>y=1$

Therefore $y$ $y$ intercept is $1$ $1$
