The correct answer is: 1st and 2nd  quadrants

Let a,a be a point on the line 3x+5y=15

3a+5a=15

a=158

  Point is 158 ,158 which lies in 1st  quadrant

Again, Let -a,a be a point on the line

      3x+5y=15

-3a+5a=15

a=152

  Point is -152 ,152 which lies in 2nd  quadrant

Hence, required point lies in1st and 2nd  quadrants.
