Plug in $0$ for $x$ or $y$ to find that the $y$ intercept is at $(0, -1)$ and the $x$ intercept is at $(1/3, 0)$

The $x$ and $y$ intercepts occur when $y=0$ and $x=0$ , respectively.

When $x=0$ we have

$-y + 3(0) = 1 => y = -1$

Thus the $y$ intercept is at $(0, -1)$ .

When $y=0$ we have

$-(0) + 3x = 1 => x = 1/3$

Thus the $x$ intercept is at $(1/3, 0)$

What are the intercepts of -y+3x=1-y+3x=1?
