The y intercept is 3
You can also say that the y intercept is at (0,3) which is a more detailed answer. However saying "y intercept is 3" is sufficient enough because the x coordinate of the y intercept is always x = 0.
The y intercept is the location where the graph crosses or touches the y axis. This is at the halfway point between the 2 and 4, so (2+4)/2 = 6/2 = 3

We must follow order of operations rules (PEMDAS).
Thus, mult. and div. must be carried out before addn. and subtrn.
Calculate the quotient of (-2/5) and (4/5). In other words, divide (4/5) into (-2/5). Invert (4/5) and multiply:
(-2/5)(5/4) = -1/2
Then we have, in place of the original expression, the following expression:
-3/4 - 1/2 + (2 1/2).
Rewriting 2 1/2 as an improper fraction and elim. the parentheses yields:
-3/4 - 2/4 + 5/2, or -3/4 - 2/4 + 10/4, since the LCD is 4.
This yields 5/4 (answer)
If there is more information then you should use it but if that is then yes it is possible if you think hard enough.
