5y-15=5x
5y=5x+15
5y=5x+15
y=5x/5+15/5
y=x+3 The y intercept=3.
Setting y=0 & solving for x
0=x+3
x=-3
Intercepts are: (-3,3)

What are the intercepts of 5y-15=5x ?

To find the y-intercept, set x to zero and solve for y.
To find the x-intercept, set y to zero and solve for x.

Y-intercept:
5y-15=5x
5y-15=5%2A0
5y-15=0
5y=15
y=15%2F5
y=3
The above answer means that when x=o, y=3. That's our y-intercept.

I'll let you work on the x-intercept. Follow the same logic. :)
