Answer:

slope = -5/2

the y-intercept is the point (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice the equation is given to you already in slope-intercept form, o you can extract those values directly:

Slope is the factor accompanying the variable x , that is the fraction -5/2 and the y value of the y-intercept is the "+3" that follows.

So the slope = -5/2

and the y-intercept is the point (0, 3) because x must be always  zero when the line intersects the y-axis.
