How do you find the intercepts of 5x - 3y = 15? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Intercepts by Substitution 1 Answer P dilip_k Mar 24, 2016 3 and 5 Explanation: putting x=0 we get y - intercept ie. 5xx0-3y=15=>y=-5 putting y=0 we get x - intercept ie. 5x-3xx0=15=>x=3 Answer link Related questions What is the x and y Intercepts?
