In this problem, we need to isolate the y variable. To do so, we can first distribute the -3 into the (x-1) to get y - 3x + 1 = 0. Then, we can add 3x - 1 to both sides of the equation, making it: y = 3x - 1 This is a linear equation in the form of y = mx + b. The m, 3 in this equation, is the slope. The b, -1 in this equation, is the y-intercept. The slope is 3. The y-intercept is -1.
