-5%2Ax%2B3%2Ay=30 Start with the given equation

Let's find the x-intercept

To find the x-intercept, let y=0 and solve for x:
-5%2Ax%2B3%2A%280%29=30 Plug in y=0

-5%2Ax=30 Simplify

x=30%2F-5 Divide both sides by -5


x=-6 Reduce



So the x-intercept is (note: the x-intercept will always have a y-coordinate equal to zero)

-5%2Ax%2B3%2Ay=30 Start with the given equation

Now let's find the y-intercept

To find the y-intercept, let x=0 and solve for y:
-5%2A%280%29%2B3%2Ay=30 Plug in x=0

-3%2Ay=30 Simplify

x=30%2F3 Divide both sides by 3



y=10 Reduce



So the y-intercept is (note: the y-intercept will always have a x-coordinate equal to zero)

So we have these intercepts:
