The best way to solve is by using elimination method.
20x = -58 - 2y
17x = -49 - 2y
Multiply second equation by -1
20x = -58 - 2y
-17x = 49 + 2y
Add equations.
3x = -9
Divide.
x = -3
Plug in -3 into one of the equations.
17(-3) = -49 - 2y
-51 = -49 - 2y
Add 49 to both sides.
-2 = -2y
Divide.
1 = y
So your solution is (-3, 1).

2 ways to find the y int.
(1) put the equation in y = mx + b form and the y int will be in the b position
7x - 3y = -5
-3y = -7x - 5
y = 7/3x + 5/3....so 5/3 is ur y int
(2) another way is to sub in 0 for x and solve for y
7(0) - 3y = -5
-3y = -5
y = -5/-3
y = 5/3...ur y int
