Start with the given equation
Let's find the x-intercept
To find the x-intercept, let y=0 and solve for x:
Plug in
Simplify
Divide both sides by 3
Reduce
So the x-intercept is
)
(note: the x-intercept will always have a y-coordinate equal to zero)

Start with the given equation
Now let's find the y-intercept
To find the y-intercept, let x=0 and solve for y:
Plug in
Simplify
Divide both sides by -5
Reduce
So the y-intercept is
)
(note: the y-intercept will always have a x-coordinate equal to zero)

So we have these intercepts:
x-intercept:
y-intercept:
