Two numbers are called x and y
x + y = 15
3x = y+2

Convert to slope intercept:
y = -x + 15
y = 3x - 2

y = 2x - 5

To find the x and y intercepts, plug in 0 for y (solving for x intercept) and 0 for x (solving for y intercept) then solve for the remaining variable.

Let's solve for the x intercept first, so plug in 0 for y.

0 = 2x - 5

Add 5 to both sides.

5 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 5/2

Now plug in 0 for x and solve for y.

y = -5

x intercept = 5/2, y intercept = -5
