x/(3/5) + y/(3/2) = 1

Explanation:

5 x + 2 y =3

divide with 3,

5/3 x + 2/3 y = 1

rearrange the equation,
x/(3/5) + y/(3/2) = 1

therefore this equation intercept at 3/5 at x-axis and 3/2 at y-axis respectively

y=-5/2x+3/2

Explanation:

The equation of a line in color(blue)"slope-intercept form" is.

color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(2/2)|)))
where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.

"Rearrange "5x+2y=3" into this form"

subtract 5x from both sides.

cancel(5x)cancel(-5x)+2y=-5x+3

rArr2y=-5x+3

divide ALL terms on both sides by 2

(cancel(2) y)/cancel(2)=-5/2x+3/2

rArry=-5/2x+3/2larrcolor(red)" in slope-intercept form"
