slope = -3/5
and y intercept = 30

so eqn of line
3x+5y = 150

y = (150-3x)/5

for y to be integer x has to be multiple of 5
x varies from 0 to 50
so 11 possible values of x: 0 5 10 15 . . . . . 45

Whats the OA?

It is 11 points because any point on the line (x,y) is in the ration of 5:3
Thus x = (5/3)y which is only possible if y = multiple of 3 from 0->30 including both, i.e. 11 points.
Thus D
