What is the equation of the line with intercepts of (5, 0) and (0, -3)?

y = 3x + 5
y = -5x – 3
y = -3x + 5
y = 5x – 3

The correct answer is: y = 3x + 5

The correct equation for the line with intercepts of (5, 0) and (0, -3) would be y = -3x + 5. This is because the x intercept is 5, which is represented by the value of x in the equation, and the y intercept is -3, which is represented by the value of y when x = 0 in the equation. Therefore, any other equation with a different slope or different values for the intercepts would not accurately represent the given intercepts. Option B has a negative slope, which would result in a line with a positive y-intercept, making it incorrect. Option C has a negative slope as well, but a positive y-intercept, which is also incorrect. Option D has a positive slope, which would also result in a positive y-intercept, making it incorrect. Overall, the correct equation,
