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

Problem

5*x+3*y=15

Solution

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

5*x+3*(0)=15

2. Solve for x by simplifying the equation and dividing both sides by the coefficient of x

5*x=15

x=3

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

5*(0)+3*y=15

4. Solve for y by simplifying the equation and dividing both sides by the coefficient of y

3*y=15

y=5

Final Answer

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