Answer:
y=-(3)/(5)x+5

y-intercept =(0,5)

Explanation:

The given equation of line :
5x+3y=15

The slope-intercept form of equation :
y=mx+c

To write the given equation in intercept form , we first subtract 3x form both sides , then divide 3 on both sides, we get


y=(1)/(3)(15-3x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=5-(3)/(5)x\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-(3)/(5)x+5

Hence, the slope-intercept form of the given equation :-


y=-(3)/(5)x+5

For y intercept , put x=0 , we get


y=5

Hence, the y-intercept of the given line =(0,5)
