3x-y+5=0
solve for y by adding y to both sides (which puts it alone on the right).
3x+5=y
so y=3x+5
slope is the number with x which is 3
y intercept is the number without x, which is 5

3x-y%2B5=0....first solve for y to express the equation of a line in- slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b y-intercept
3x%2B5=y
or
y=3x%2B5.......slope-intercept form; so, the slope is m=3 and y-intercept is b=5
