Given equation is
6x+3y-5=0
we can rewrite it as
y= -\frac{6}{3}x+\frac{5}{3}\Rightarrow y = -2x+\frac{5}{3}                            -(i)
Now, we know that the Slope-intercept form of line is 
y = mx+C                     -(ii)
Where m is the slope and C is some constant
On comparing equation (i) with equation (ii)
we  will get
m =- 2  and C = \frac{5}{3}
Therefore, slope and y-intercept are -2 \ and \ \frac{5}{3}  respectively
