-3x+5y=25
**
rewrite equation so it is in the form for a straight line:
y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
..
-3x+5y=25
5y=3x+25
y=3x/5+5
so, now you have the slope(3/5) and a point(0,5) on the line
To find the 2nd point, start from the y-intercept (0,5), move 3 units up and 5 units to the right.
To check your answer, plug in a small value of x to find a 3rd point.
If you did it correctly, all three points will be on the line.
