See below:

Work Step by Step

(a) Slope–intercept form is \[y=mx+b\], where \[m\] is the slope and \[b\]is the \[y\]-intercept. Consider the provided equation: \[3y=5x\] To obtain the equation in the form of \[y=mx+b\],divide both sides of the equation by 3 as follows: \[y=\frac{5}{3}x\] Hence, the equation in slope–intercepts\[y=\frac{5}{3}x\]. (b) Consider the given equation \[3y=5x\]. The slope–intercept form of the provided equation is \[y=\frac{5}{3}x\] Compare it with \[y=mx+b\],which gives \[m=\frac{5}{3}\]and\[b=0\] Hence, the slope of the equation is \[\frac{5}{3}\]and the\[y\]-intercept is\[0\].
