Find the x and y Intercepts 3x-5y=15

Problem

3*x−5*y=15

Solution

1. Find the x-intercept by setting y=0 in the equation.

3*x−5*(0)=15

2. Solve for x by simplifying the equation.

3*x=15

x=5

3. Find the y-intercept by setting x=0 in the equation.

3*(0)−5*y=15

4. Solve for y by simplifying the equation.

−5*y=15

y=−3

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(5,0), y-intercept: *(0,−3)
