Answer:

slope = 3 , 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

- 5 - y = - 3x ( add 5 to both sides )

- y = - 3x + 5 ( multiply through by - 1 )

y = 3x - 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3 and y- intercept c = - 5
