Work Step by Step

Consider the provided equation: \[5x-3y=15\](1) For \[x\text{-intercept}\], substitute \[y=0\] in equation (1). That is, \[\begin{align} & 5x-3\left( 0 \right)=15 \\ & 5x=15 \\ & x=\frac{15}{5} \\ & x=3 \end{align}\] Therefore, the line passes through \[\left( 3,0 \right)\]. and For\[y\text{-intercept}\], substitute \[x=0\] in equation (1). That is, \[\begin{align} & 5\left( 0 \right)-3y=15 \\ & -3y=15 \\ & y=-\frac{15}{5} \\ & =-5 \end{align}\] Therefore, the line passes through \[\left( 0,-5 \right)\]. Now, plot the points \[\left( 3,0 \right)\]and \[\left( 0,-5 \right)\],then join the line. The resulting graph is shown below:
