Question 550892: Find the x- and y-intercepts for the equation. Then graph the equation
2x + 3y = 15

To find the x-intercept make y=0 and to find y make x=0
2x+3*0=15
2x=15
x=7.5
(7.5, 0) is my x intercept
2*0+3y=15
3y=15
y=5
(0,5) is my y intercept
To graph them just draw these two points and draw a line through them
We can also get things in slope intercept form
2x+3y=15
3y=-2x+15
y=-(2/3)x+5
