Solve for y means to isolate the y on the left with a coefficient of 1. Add 5x to both sides of the equation and then divide by both sides by 3. When you are done, the coefficient on the x term will be the slope and the constant term, including its sign will be the y-coordinate of the y-intercept. The actual y-intercept is an ordered pair of the form (0,b) where b is the constant term in the equation once it is in the form
