I'm assuming you want to calculate a 3 sigma confidence limit. But of what? The slope coefficient? Offset coefficient?

As far as I understand, 3 sigma is indeed usually 3 times the 1 sigma error estimate. When your fitting function is non-linear it gets more complicated, but yours is not-nonlinear.
