Your first question deals with an equation that is already in slope-intercept form, namely . The slope is the coefficient on

For your second problem, you need to solve for . That is to say you need to put it into the slope intercept form . Add to both sides, then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient on . The resulting constant term on the right-hand side will be your -intercept.

You can answer these questions yourself by recalling that the "slope-intercept" form of a linear equation is:
Where: m = slope and b = y-intercept.
Compare your equations with the standard form: For the first equation:

For the second equation, you will have to rearrange it to be in the slope-intercept form:
Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.
Now divide both sides by 3.
Compare with:
