Take two points

  • (0,3)
  • (5,0)
  • x intercept=a=5
  • y intercept=b=3

So

equation of line in intercept form


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (x)/(a)+(y)/(b)=1


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (x)/(5)+(y)/(3)=1

  • Multiply each by 15


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 3x+5y=15

Answer:

3x + 5y = 15

Find gradient:

coordinates taken: (5, 0), (0, 3)


\rightarrow \sf (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


\rightarrow \sf (3-0)/(0-5)


\rightarrow \sf -(3)/(5)

  • Here the y-intercept: 3
  • gradient: -3/5

equation:


\sf \bold{ y = m(x) + b}


\rightarrow \sf y = -(3)/(5) x + 3


\rightarrow \sf y = -(3)/(5) x + (15)/(5)


\rightarrow \sf 5y =-3x+15


\rightarrow \sf 3x+5y =15
