Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided function, we obtain that:

As have the form: y=mx+b, it's a line.

Now, let's find the x- and y-intercepts:

x-intercept:

0=((1)/(2)) x+((3)/(5))

-3/5=1/2x

x=-3/5*2

x=-6/5

Here we obtain that the x-intercept is (-6/5, 0)

y-intercept:

y=1/2x+3/5

y=1/2(0)+3/5

y=3/5

Here we obtain that the y-intercept is (0, 3/5)

Finally we obtain that the graph is:
