Use the intercepts to graph the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "3x-5y=15
\n" ); document.write( "Arrange in the slope intercept format
\n" ); document.write( "-5y = 15 - 3x
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by -1
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 3x - 15
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"3%2F5\"$ x - 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The y intercept occurs when x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The x intercept occurs when y = 0
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F5\"$ x - 3 = 0
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F5\"$ x = + 3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 5, results
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 15
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "x = +5 is the x intercept
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x/y of y intercept: 0,-3
\n" ); document.write( "x/y of x intercept: 5,0
