Given the equation of a line 5x + 3y=15, at what point does the graph of the line
intersect the y-axis?

we can find the y-coordinate of the point of intersection of

the line whose equation is 5x + 3y = 15 and the y-axis as
follows:
5x + 3y = 15
5(0) + 3y = 15
0 + 3y = 15
3y/3 = 15/3
y=5

2. Determine the point on the graph of the linear equation 2x+5y=19, whose
ordinate is 3/2 times its abscissa.
Let x be the abscissa of the given line 2x+5y=19, then by given condition,
Ordinate (y)=11/2×(y)=11/2× Abscissa
⇒ y=3/2x⇒ y=3/2x
On putting y=3/2xy=3/2x in given equation, we get
2x+5(3/2)x=192x+5(3/2)x=19
⇒ 4x+15x=19×2
⇒ 4x+15x=38
⇒ 19x=38
⇒ x=38/19
∴ x=2
On substituting the value of x in Eq. (i), we get
y=(3)/(2)x
So y=3`
Hence, the required point is (2,3).
