X-intercept

To find the x-intercept we must replace y=0 and isolate x. Doing so, we have:

5x + 3*(0) = 30

5x = 30 (Multiplying)

x = 30/5 (Dividing by 5 on both sides of the equation)

x = 6

The coordinates of the x-intercept would be (6,0)

Y-intercept

To find the y-intercept we must replace x=0 and isolate y. Doing so, we have:

5*(0) + 3y = 30

3y = 30 (Multiplying)

y = 30 / 3 (Dividing by 3 on both sides of the equation)

y = 10 (Dividing)

The coordinates of the y-intercept would be (0,10)
