Answer:

5x+3y=15

Explanation:

We are given two coordinates (3,0) (0,5)

Start by finding slope

y2-y1/x2-x1= 5-0/0-3= -5/3 this is your slope m.

y=mx+c

y= -5/3x+c (but remember standard line is ax+by=c) so we have to switch sides

5/3x + y=5 (remember standard form has no fraction so multiply by 3 on all sides)

5x+3y=15
