Question

Need help please thanks

Answer 1

This equation is in standard form, if you put it into slope-intercept form, you will be able to graph it. Once you graph it you will be able to find the intercepts.

5x - 3y = 15

-3y = -5x + 15

y = 5/3x - 5

X-Intercept: (3,0)

Y-Intercept: (0, -5)

Answer 2

x-intercept = 3 ; y-intercept = -5

Explanation:

Lets rearrange the equation into the form y = mx + b:

5x - 3y = 15

-3y = 15 - 5x

Divide by -3:

y = 5x/3 - 5

Here we know that b (-5) is the y-intercept, and we can find the x-intercept by starting at the y-intercept and using the slope till we get the x-intercept. Or you can set y = 0 and solve for x, either way you get x-intercept = 3.
