Question

How do you find the slope & y-intercept of the equation `y=3x+1`?

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

`color(white)xxy=3x+1`

Let `m` be the slope:
`color(white)xxy=mx+c`
`color(white)xxy=3x+1`

Therefore:
`color(white)xxm=3`

For `x=0`,
`color(white)xxy=3xx0+1`
`=>y=1`

Therefore `y` intercept is `1`
