Below

Explanation:

First you have to make y the subject so you can find your slope

#3x+5y=5#
#5y=5-3x#
#y=1-3/5x#
#y=-3/5x+1#

Looking at the equation, you'll notice that it is in the form of #y=mx+b# where m is your gradient and b is your y-intercept

SO your slope is #-3/5# and your y-intercept is #(0,1)#
Your x-intercept can be found by letting #y=0#
#3x=5#
#x=5/3# #(5/3,0)#

Now all you have to do is plot your x and y intercepts and connect the two dots together
