The linear function is .

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

                                 (Substitute 0 for x)

                                       (Apply Zero propduct property: )

                                              (Apply Additive identity property: )

According to division property of equality: if , then .

                                        (Divide each side by 3)

                                             (Cancel common terms)

                                                  (Divide: )

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)

                                     (Apply Zero propduct property: )

                                            (Apply Additive identity property: )

According to division property of equality: if , then .

                                     (Divide each side by 5)

                                          (Cancel common terms)

                                               (Divide: )

The x-intercept is 3. The graph crosses the x-axis at (3, 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 3 and the y-intercept is 5.
