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)
