Answer:

Y intercept= -3

x-intercept = 5

Explanation:

So you would want to get your y alone for it to be in slome intercept form (y=mx+b) so you would:

1. Subtract 3x from both sides to get -5y= -3x+15

2. then you would divide each side by -5 to get y=
(3)/(5) x -3

And since in slope intercept form, b= the y-intercept, The y-intercept =-3 and to find the x-intercept you would have to solve for y=0 in your new-found equation.

sorry if this was long

Answer:

x-intercept is 5

y-intercept is -3

Explanation:

For the x-intercept:


3x - 5(0) = 15


3x = 15


x = 5

For the y-intercept:


3(0) - 5y = 15


- 5y = 15


y = - 3
