Answer: 3rd quadrant
Solution:

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc

Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .

X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 15/1 = 15.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 15/3 = 5.
Slope is -1/3 = -0.333333333333333.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-0.333333333333333*x+5.
