Answer

Hence, the correct graph is $C.$

Work Step by Step

The given linear equation is $\Rightarrow 5x+3y=-30$ $x$ intercept. Substitute $0$ for $y$. $\Rightarrow 5x+3(0)=-30$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 5x=-30$ Divide each side by $5$. $\Rightarrow \frac{5x}{5}=-\frac{30}{5}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=-6$ The $x-$ intercept is $-6$, so plot the point $A=(-6,0)$ $y$ intercept. Substitute $0$ for $x$. $\Rightarrow 5(0)+3y=-30$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 0+3y=-30$ $\Rightarrow 3y=-30$ Divide each side by $3$. $\Rightarrow \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-30}{3}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=-10$ The $y-$ intercept is $-10$, so plot the point $B=(0,-10)$ Draw a line through the points $A$ and $B$. Hence, the correct graph is $C.$
