Firstly, familiarise yourself with what kind of graph this is. For example, this is a linear graph with the formula #y=ax+c#.

Secondly, find the x-intercept(s) when #y=0#,
#5x=-15#
#x=-3#

Thirdly, find the y-intercept(s) when #x=0#,
#3y=-15#
#y=-5#

Finally, plot this 2 points on the graph and connect them together.
