The y-intercept of the given function
\(3y = -5x + 7\) can be found by setting x to 0 and solving for y.

To find the y-intercept, we set x to 0 and solve for y:


\[3y = -5(0) + 7\]

Simplifying the right side of the equation:


\[3y = 7\]

Now, isolate y by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:


\[y = (7)/(3)\]

So, the y-intercept occurs at the point (0, 7/3). This means that when x is 0, y is (7/3).
