2x + 3y - 15 = 0

Find the slope and y-intercept.

2x + 3y - 15 = 0

3y= -2x +15

y= -2/3x +5

The slope is the value that goes with the x: -2/3

The y-intercept is: 5

Now let's find the x-intercept (y=0):

0 = -2/3x +5

-5 = -2/3x

2x = 15

x= 7.5

So we have two points to draw the graph:

(0,5)

(7.5,0)
