$3 x + 5 y = 15$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Step 1.1

The slope-intercept form is

y = m x + b

$y = m x + b$ , where

m

$m$ is the slope and

b

$b$ is the y-intercept.

y = m x + b

$y = m x + b$

Step 1.2

Subtract

3 x

$3 x$ from both sides of the equation.

5 y = 15 - 3 x

$5 y = 15 - 3 x$

Step 1.3

Divide each term in

5 y = 15 - 3 x

$5 y = 15 - 3 x$ by

5

$5$ and simplify.

Step 1.3.1

Divide each term in

5 y = 15 - 3 x

$5 y = 15 - 3 x$ by

5

$5$ .

\frac{5 y}{5} = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{- 3 x}{5}

$\frac{5 y}{5} = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{- 3 x}{5}$

Step 1.3.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 y}{5} = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{- 3 x}{5}$

Step 1.3.2.1.2

Divide

$y$ by

$1$ .

$y = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{- 3 x}{5}$

$y = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{- 3 x}{5}$

$y = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{- 3 x}{5}$

Step 1.3.3

Simplify the right side.

Step 1.3.3.1.1

Divide

$15$ by

$5$ .

$y = 3 + \frac{- 3 x}{5}$

Step 1.3.3.1.2

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = 3 - \frac{3 x}{5}$

$y = 3 - \frac{3 x}{5}$

$y = 3 - \frac{3 x}{5}$

$y = 3 - \frac{3 x}{5}$

Step 1.4

Write in

$y = m x + b$ form.

Step 1.4.1

Reorder

$3$ and

$- \frac{3 x}{5}$ .

$y = - \frac{3 x}{5} + 3$

Step 1.4.2

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{3}{5} x) + 3$

Step 1.4.3

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{3}{5} x + 3$

$y = - \frac{3}{5} x + 3$

$y = - \frac{3}{5} x + 3$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is

$3$ .

$b = 3$

Step 3

y-intercept in point form.

$(0, 3)$
