slope= #5/2#

y-intercept = #-3/2#

#3=-2y+5x# (rearrange equation into #y=mx+b#)

#3+2y=5x# (Added 2y to both sides)

#2y=5x-3# (Subtracted 3 from both sides)

#y=(5x-3)/2# (Divided by two on both sides to isolate the variable)

In the equation #y=mx+b#, #m#=slope #b# = y-intercept

so slope= #5/2#

y-intercept = #-3/2#
