Below

For x-intercept, let $y=0$

ie $-5x+3y=19$
$-5x+3(0)=19$
$-5x=19$
$x=-19/5$

$(-19/5)$ is your x-intercept

For y-intercept, let $x=0$

ie $-5x+3y=19$
$-5(0)+3y=19$
$3y=19$
$y=19/3$

$(0,19/3)$ is your y-intercept

Using your two intercepts, plot them on the graph and join the points together.

graph{-5x+3y=19 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

How do you graph using the intercepts for - 5x + 3y = 19- 5x + 3y = 19?
