#m=3# (the slope) and the y-intercept #S(0;9)#

The equation has the form
#y=mx+n# so the slope is given by #3# and the y-intercept
#S(0;9)#

I tried this:

You have an equation of a line in the form:

#y=mx+c#

i.e.

#y="slope"*x+"y-intercept"#

so in your case you have:

#"slope"=3#
#"y-intercept"=9#
