What are the intercepts of the equation? Graph the equation. 5x+3y=15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to fin the intercepts, you divide the base (the 5 in 5x or 3 in 3y) with the number on the opposite side of the equal sign (25)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*15 sorry lol. so what you'd end up with is x=3 and y=5

OpenStudy (nirmalnema):

for y intercept put x= 0 and for x intercept put y=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to graph it, you'd just draw a point on (0,3) to represent to x intercept on the x axis, and (5,0) on the y axis to represent the y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES! exactly. you got it (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (nirmalnema):

x intercept is 3 and y intercept is 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem
