Answer:

slope = - 6, y- intercept = 5

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

0 = 2x -
(5)/(3) +
(1)/(3) y ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fractions )

0 = 6x - 5 + y ( subtract 6x - 5 from both sides )

- 6x + 5 = y , that is

y = - 6x + 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 6 and y- intercept c = 5
