rearranging to the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) shows the intercept

adding y gives 3x=y+7 ... subtracting 7 gives 3x-7=y

To find the y-intercept, let x=0 and solve for y:
Plug in

Simplify

Divide both sides by -1



Reduce



So the y-intercept is (note: the y-intercept will always have a x-coordinate equal to zero)
