Have a look:

Explanation:

Your equation represents a straight line passing through $y = 15$ $y=15$ and with slope $15$ $15$ (the coefficicient of $x$ $x$ ). The slope tells you that for each increment of $1$ $1$ in $x$ $x$ then $y$ $y$ increases of $15$ $15$ .

To graph it you can set:

$x = 0$ $x=0$ giving the intercept $y = 15$ $y=15$
and, say...
$x = 1$ $x=1$ giving $y = 15 + 15 = 30$ $y=15+15=30$
whith these two points you have enough informations to plot your line:
