The slope is #3#.

Explanation:

To find the slope, first make the equation in slope-intercept form (shown below) so that we can find the slope easier:

Let's make #y# by itself by adding #color(blue)(3x)# to both sides of the equation:
#y - 3x quadcolor(blue)(+quad3x) = 1 quadcolor(blue)(+quad3x)#

#y = 1 + 3x#

We know that the slope is the number multiplied by the #x#, so the slope is #3#.

Hope this helps!
