To remove the decimal from the equation −0.3x−0.5y=0.15, we can multiply each term by 10.
10(-0.3x) + 10(-0.5y) = 10(0.15)
-3x - 5y = 1.5
To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x:
-3x - 5(0) = 1.5
-3x = 1.5
x = 1.5/(-3)
x = -0.5
So, the x-intercept is -0.5.
To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y:
-3(0) - 5y = 1.5
-5y = 1.5
y = 1.5/(-5)
y = -0.3
So, the y-intercept is -0.3.
To plot the points, we have the x-intercept at -0.5 and the y-intercept at -0.3. We can plot these two points on a graph.
−0.3x−0.5y=0.15
Multiply each term by a power of 10 to remove the decimal.
Find the x-intercept (what is x when y = 0?) and y-intercept (what is y when x = 0?)

WHAT IS THE PLOT POINTS
The plot points for the equation -0.3x - 0.5y = 0.15 are (-0.5, 0) for the x-intercept (where y = 0) and (0, -0.3) for the y-intercept (where x = 0).
