1. Problem Description

The problem asks to graph the linear equation 3x+5y=53x + 5y = -5.

2. Solution Steps

To graph the equation 3x+5y=53x + 5y = -5, we can find two points on the line and then connect them. A good approach is to find the x and y intercepts.
To find the x-intercept, set y=0y=0 and solve for xx:
3x+5(0)=53x + 5(0) = -5
3x=53x = -5
x=53x = -\frac{5}{3}
So, the x-intercept is (53,0)(-\frac{5}{3}, 0).
To find the y-intercept, set x=0x=0 and solve for yy:
3(0)+5y=53(0) + 5y = -5
5y=55y = -5
y=1y = -1
So, the y-intercept is (0,1)(0, -1).
Alternatively, we can rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.
3x+5y=53x + 5y = -5
5y=3x55y = -3x - 5
y=35x1y = -\frac{3}{5}x - 1
From this form, we can see that the slope is 35-\frac{3}{5} and the y-intercept is 1-1. This matches with our previous calculation.
We have two points: (53,0)(-\frac{5}{3}, 0) and (0,1)(0, -1). We can now graph the line. Since we do not have the tool, the solution is just finding the two points. We can also find another point using the slope-intercept form. For example, starting from (0,-1), we move 5 units to the right and 3 units down. This leads to the point (5, -4).

3. Final Answer

Two points on the line are (53,0)(-\frac{5}{3}, 0) and (0,1)(0, -1). The slope-intercept form is y=35x1y = -\frac{3}{5}x - 1.
