Find the intercepts for the graph of the equation given.

3x-5y=15
What is the x intercept?
what is the y intercept?

Please explain in steps on how to do this.

X intercept=5
Y intercept=-3

What you do:

To find the X intercept in an equation in standard form (Ax+By=C), you set the Y value to 0. Divide the A (3) into the C (15) and you get the x intercept.

To find the Y intercept, you do the opposite. Set the X value to 0 and divide the B (-5) into the C. You now have the Y intercept.

I hope this makes sense!

y - intercept occurs when x = 0 (since your graph cross the y-axis at x = 0) and your x - intercept occurs when y = 0.

3(0) - 5y = 15, so y = -3

y - intercept: (0,-3)

3x - 5(0) = 15, so x = 5

x - intercept: (5, 0)

3x-5y=15
-5y=-3x+15
y=3/5x-3

x-intercept
0=3/5x-3
3=3/5x
5=x

y-intercept
-3
