-x-intercept $- 5$, y-intercept 3
A) $- 3 x - 5 y = - 15$
B) $3 x + 5 y = - 15$
C) $3 x - 5 y = 15$
D) $3 x - 5 y = - 15$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard form of a line is $Ax + By = C$. The x-intercept is -5, so when y=0, x=-5, giving the point (-5,0). The y-intercept is 3, so when x=0, y=3, giving the point (0,3). Using these points, the equation of the line is $3x - 5y = -15$.
