The linear function is 

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

                                    (Substitute 0 for x)

                                             (Multiply: )

                                               (Subtract: )

The y-intercept is -5. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, -5).

The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.

                                       (Substitute 0 for y)

                           (Add 5 to each side)

                                 (Apply Additive inverse property: )

                                             (ApplyAdditive identity property)

                                        (Divide each side by 3)

                                             (Cancel common terms)

                                   (Multiply each side by negative one)

                                            (Product of two same signs is positive)

The x-intercept is. The graph crosses the x-axis at (, 0).

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.      Draw a coordinate plane

2.      Plot the points

3.      Draw a line through these points.

x-intercept is and the y-intercept is -5.
