1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to solve a system of two linear equations by graphing. The system of equations is:
3x5y=153x - 5y = 15
6x+y=36x + y = -3
We need to determine the solution, if it exists, or state if there are infinitely many solutions or no solution.

2. Solution Steps

First, we rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b).
For the first equation, 3x5y=153x - 5y = 15:
5y=3x+15-5y = -3x + 15
y=3x5+155y = \frac{-3x}{-5} + \frac{15}{-5}
y=35x3y = \frac{3}{5}x - 3
For the second equation, 6x+y=36x + y = -3:
y=6x3y = -6x - 3
The slope of the first equation is 35\frac{3}{5} and the y-intercept is 3-3.
The slope of the second equation is 6-6 and the y-intercept is 3-3.
Since the slopes are different and the y-intercept is the same, the lines intersect at a single point, which is the y-intercept. The y-intercept occurs when x=0x = 0.
Plugging in x=0x=0 to both equations:
y=35(0)3=3y = \frac{3}{5}(0) - 3 = -3
y=6(0)3=3y = -6(0) - 3 = -3
So the intersection point is (0,3)(0, -3).

3. Final Answer

The solution to the system is (0,3)(0, -3).
