Below

Explanation:

First you have to make y the subject so you can find your slope

3x+5y=5
5y=5-3x
y=1-3/5x
y=-3/5x+1

Looking at the equation, you'll notice that it is in the form of y=mx+b where m is your gradient and b is your y-intercept

SO your slope is -3/5 and your y-intercept is (0,1)
Your x-intercept can be found by letting y=0
3x=5
x=5/3 (5/3,0)

Now all you have to do is plot your x and y intercepts and connect the two dots together
