Answer

The y-intercept is (0,1/3), and the slope is -5/3.

Work Step by Step

We know that $y=mx+b$, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Using this, we find that the equation in slope intercept form is: $$ 3y=1-5x\\ y=\frac{1-5x}{3}$$ Thus, the y-intercept is (0,1/3), and the slope is -5/3.
