Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the y-intercept

To find the \( y \)-intercept, substitute \( x = 0 \) into the equation \( y = \frac{5x - 15}{x + 3} \).

Step 2: Substitute \( x = 0 \) into the equation

Substitute \( x = 0 \): \[ y = \frac{5(0) - 15}{0 + 3} \]

Step 3: Simplify the expression

Simplify the numerator and denominator: \[ y = \frac{-15}{3} = -5 \]

The \( y \)-intercept is \( (0, -5) \).

Final Answer

\(\boxed{(0, -5)}\)
