#"slope "=3" and y-intercept "=2#

Explanation:

The equation of a line in #color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.

#y=3x+2" is in this form"#

#rArr"slope "=m=3" and y-intercept "=b=2#
