You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x intercept is (-3,0) and y intercept is (0,5)
...
Find slope
%280-5%29%2F%28-3-0%29+=+-5%2F-3+=+5%2F3
...
Use a point, intercept, and the slope
y - 0 = 5%2F3(x--3)
y - 0 = 5%2F3(x+3)
y = %285%2F3%29x+%2B+%285%2F3%29%283%29
highlight_green%28y+=+%285%2F3%29x+%2B+5%29
