x intercept is where the line is crossing the x axis or where y=0

y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis or where x=0

to find them, set other ting to zero


3/5x+1/3y=1/15
xintercept, set y=0
3/5x+1/3(0)=1/15
3/5x+0=1/15
3/5x=1/15
times 5/3 both sides
x=1/9
xintercept is x=1/9

yintercet
set x=0
3/5(0)+1/3y=1/15
0+1/3y=1/15
1/3y=1/15
times 3/1 both sides
y=1/5
yintercept is y=1/5



xint is x=1/9
yint is y=1/5
