Answer:

y- intercept = 13

Explanation:

the y- intercept is where the line crosses the y- axis

the x- coordinate of any point on the y- axis is 0

substitute x = 0 into the equation and solve for y

y + 2 = - 5(0 - 3)

y + 2 = - 5(- 3)

y + 2 = 15 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

y + 2 - 2 = 15 - 2 ( simplify )

y = 13

y- intercept is 13 or (0, 13 ) in coordinate form
