First solve for y:

Subtract x from both sides

Multiply both sides by -1 to make y positive

So we have

So it is now in form where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Since the y-intercept is (0,-3) (b is always the y coordinate of the y-intercept). Notice if we plug in x=0 we get

This verifies our answer.

Also notice if we graph we get

and you can see that the y-intercept is (0,-3)
