$x$ -intercept at 5,
$y$ -intercept at -6.

Since this is a linear function with a $b$ -value and a slope, it must cross the $x$ and $y$ axes at some point.

To solve for the $y$ -intercept, let $x$ = $0$ :

$y$ = $-(6/5)$ ( $0$ )+6
$y$ = 6

To solve for the $x$ - intercept, let $y$ = $0$ :

$0$ = $-(6/5)(x)$ +6
$-6=-(6/5)(x)$
$-30=-6x$
$x=5$

How do you find the x and y intercepts for y= - 6/5x + 6y= - 6/5x + 6?
