Graph a function and identify intercepts

Which graph represents the equation 5y - 3x = -15?

Get the equation into slope-intercept form, so that the slope and y-intercept can be identified.

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope 
b is the y-intercept

5y - 3x = -15
5y = 3x - 15   {added 3x to each side}
y = (3/5)x - 3   {divided each side by 5}
slope = 3/5
y-intercept is -3

The graph with a slope of 3/5 and
a y-intercept of -3 is  B.)
