\n" ); document.write( "3x+5y=15
\n" ); document.write( "put this in the slope-intercept form which is
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "first subtract 3x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "5y = -3x + 15
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-3/5)*x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "you get the y-intercept by setting x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept = +3
\n" ); document.write( "you get the x intercept by setting y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "0 = (-3/5)*x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "3/5 * x= 3
\n" ); document.write( "x = (5/3)*3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
