Amplitude =1, Period = #(2pi)/3#, Horizontal shift= 0, Vertical shift =7

Explanation:

Write the function in the standard form y= A sin B(x-C) +D, to get A as amplitude, Period as #(2pi)/B#, C as horizontal shift and D as vertical shift.
Accordingly, the given function would be y= #sin 3x# +7
Amplitude is thus 1, Period is #(2pi)/3#, there is no horizontal shift. Vertical shift is 7
