Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph of the equation 5x + 3y = 15.

x-intercept: (3,0)

y-intercept: (0,5)

explanation

so to find x-inter you need to replace y for 0 and then solve X.

example: 5x +3(0) = 15

and do the same to fine y-inter, replace x with 0 then solve for y.

example: 5(0) +3y = 15

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
