how do i find the intercepts for 5x-3y=15 on a tchart

OpenStudy (anonymous):

intercept with x or y-axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for interception with x-axis, u let y=0 then solve the equation o find the x coordinate. for with y-axis, u let x=0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to do this equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when graph intercept with y-axis, the x coordinate must be zero. so u put in x=0 into the graph equation such that: 5(0)-3y=15 -> -3y=15 -> y=-15/3=-5 do the same thing to find the point of interception with x-axis but for this, u let y=0.

x-intercept, 5x=15 x=3 y-intercept, -3y=15 y=-5
