You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the intercepts to graph the equation.
3x-5y=15
Arrange in the slope intercept format
-5y = 15 - 3x
Multiply equation by -1
5y = 3x - 15
Divide both sides by 5
y = x - 3
:
The y intercept occurs when x = 0
y = -3
:
The x intercept occurs when y = 0 x - 3 = 0 x = + 3
Multiply both sides by 5, results
3x = 15
Divide both sides by 3
x = +5 is the x intercept
:
x/y of y intercept: 0,-3
x/y of x intercept: 5,0
