Isolate y by dividing -3/5 from each side.
Every single person so far has forgotten the distributive property of multiplication.
Skip, flip, multiply
-5/3(-3/5y)=-5/3(-2/3x + 5)
Distribute
-5/3(-3/5y)=-5/3(-2/3x) + -5/3(5)
Two negs make a pos. Neg times Pos = Neg.
15/15y = 10/9x-25/3
y = 10/9x - 25/3
m = 10/9
b = -25/3
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
