-3x + 5y = -15

The general form of a line using slope and y intercept is: y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

So we have to write the original equation in this form:

-3x + 5y = -15

5y = 3x - 15

y = (3/5)x - 15/5

y = (3/5)x - 3

In this case, m= 3/5 and b = -3

Therefore m = 3/5

Therefore the y intercept (when x = 0) is -3

Answer:

slope is 3/5

y intercept -3
