You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is not a quadratic equation. It is linear.
It has two unknowns and therefore doesn't have a solution nor answer.
You can find certain points and slope.
Perhaps from the zeroes, you want the intercepts.
Your points are correct for the intercepts.
plug in o for x and get 15/2 and plug in 0 for y and get 3 for x
