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 = $-3/2$
