Answer

slope $=\frac{3}{5}$ $y$-intercept $=-6$

Work Step by Step

Step $1$. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$ (where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the $y$-intercept) to obtain: $$\begin{align*} 3x-5y&=30\\ -5y&=-3x+30\\ \frac{-5y}{-5}&=\frac{-3x+30}{-5}\\ y&=\frac{3}{5}x-6 \end{align*}$$ Step $2$. Thus, the slope is $m=\frac{3}{5}$ and the $y$-intercept as $-6$.
