The y intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. You can find the y intercept of a line multiple ways. If a point touches the y-axis, the value of x of that certain point will be 0. Therefore, you can replace x in the equation with 0.
y = 3(0) - 5
y = -5
Once you do this, you will see that the y intercept for this equation is -5.
