For the equation 7x-3y=15, express x in terms of y and check if the line represented by the given equation intersect y-axis at y= -5 ....pls help tomorrow is my exam.

7x-3y=15
7x=3y+15
x=3y+157
Checking whether the line intersects y-axis at y=-5:
On y-axis, x=0.
Put y=-5 and x=0  in the given equation.
We get
7(0)-3(-5) =15
0+15=15
15=15
So it got satisfied.
So we say, the line intersects the y-axis at y=-5
