Question 475723
The x intercept is 3 so the point of intersection on the x axis is(3,0)
The y intercept is -5 so the point of intersection on the y axis is (0,-5)

Find the slope of the line using these co-ordinates
x1		y1	x2	y2				
3		0	0	-5				
								
slope m =		(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)						
(	-5	-	0	)/(	0	-	3	) 
(	-5	/	-3	)  				
m=		5/3						 
								
Plug value of  the slope  and point (3,0) in	
Y 	=	m	x 	+	b			
0.00	=	5	+	b				
b=	0		5					
b=	-5							
So the equation  will be								
Y 	=	5/3 x -5
