Answer

The x-intercept is \(\boxed{-5}\) and the y-intercept is \(\boxed{-3}\).

Steps

Step 1 ：Set x to 0 in the equation to find the y-intercept.

Step 2 ：The equation becomes \(-\frac{1}{3} y = 1\).

Step 3 ：Solving for y, we get y = -3.

Step 4 ：Set y to 0 in the equation to find the x-intercept.

Step 5 ：The equation becomes \(-\frac{1}{5} x = 1\).

Step 6 ：Solving for x, we get x = -5.

Step 7 ：The x-intercept is \(\boxed{-5}\) and the y-intercept is \(\boxed{-3}\).
