tx/3+y/5=1 can be solved for y so it can be put into a graphing calculator.

Multiply each term by the lowest common multiple of the denominators, 15.

It gives you 5x+3y=15

Then subtract 5x from both sides.

3y=-5x+15

Divide each term by 3.

y=-5/3 x+5

This is slope intercept form.

Crosses y axis at 5 with a slope of -5 over 3.
