You can find the five solutions by converting 3x-5y=15 into slope form(y=mx+b).
+3x+-+5y+=+15+
+3x+-+3x+-5y+=+15+-+3x+ Subtraction Property of Equality
+-5y%2F-5+=+15%2F-5+-+3x%2F-5+ Division Property of Equality
+y+=+%283%2F5%29x+-+3+
Because of this we can apply any number to x and find y to find any solution, to which you can also graph it on a coordinate plane.
