The x-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. In this equation, the y-intercept is represented by -3, so in order to find the x-intercept, we need to set y = 0 and solve for x. If we do this with the given equation, we get 0 = 5x - 3, which gives us x = 3. The other choices are incorrect because A (0) is the y-intercept, B (-3) and D (5) are not solutions to the equation when y is equal to 0, and therefore do not represent the x-intercept.
