Slope: -5/3

Let's rewrite it in the form y = mx + b.
3y = 3 - 5x = -5x + 3
y = -5/3x + 1
Then, the slope must be -5/3

y-intercept: (0, 1)

The y-intercept is a set of ordinates that passes through the y-axis. If it passes through the y-axis, then it must have an x-ordinate of 0. Substitute x = 0 into the line equation.

3y + 5(0) = 3
3y = 3; y = 1
So, the y-intercept is at (0, 1)
