Set $y=0$ and $x=0$ to find the intercepts, then draw a line between the points. This one should be facing down and right.

Set $x=0$ for the y intercept

$y=-6*0-9$

$y=-9$

Mark the point on the $y$ axis with value 9

Set $y=0$ for the x intercept

$0=-6x-9$

$6x=-9$

$x=-9/6$

$x=-1.5$

Mark the point on the $x$ axis with value -1.5

Now draw a line between these two points.
