Answer

Slope: $m=0$ y-intercept: $(0,-\frac{5}{3})$

Work Step by Step

In a linear equation $y=mx+b$, $m$ is the slope and $(0,b)$ the y-intercept. That is, the y-intercept is the point on the line when $x=0$ $3y+5=0$ $3y=0x-5$ $y=\frac{0}{3}x-\frac{5}{3}$ $y=0x-\frac{5}{3}$ Slope: $m=0$ y-intercept: $(0,-\frac{5}{3})$
