1. **Problem Statement:** Graph the equation $3y + 15x = 30$ and find its slope and intercepts.
2. **Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:** The slope-intercept form is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
Start with the given equation:
$$3y + 15x = 30$$
Subtract $15x$ from both sides:
$$3y = -15x + 30$$
Divide both sides by 3:
$$y = -5x + 10$$
3. **Identify slope and intercepts:**
- Slope $m = -5$
- Y-intercept $b = 10$ (point $(0,10)$)
4. **Find the x-intercept:** Set $y=0$ and solve for $x$:
$$0 = -5x + 10$$
$$5x = 10$$
$$x = 2$$
So, x-intercept is at $(2,0)$.
5. **Interpretation:** The line crosses the y-axis at 10 and the x-axis at 2, and it slopes downward with slope $-5$.
6. **Summary:** The graph is a straight line with equation $y = -5x + 10$, slope $-5$, y-intercept $(0,10)$, and x-intercept $(2,0)$.
You can plot these points and draw the line through them to visualize the graph.
