$y = 0$ $y=0$ , $x = 0$ $x=0$

Explanation:

To find the y-intercept, we set $x = 0$ $x=0$ . Because the numerator of the expression is an isolated $x^{2}$ $x^2$ term, and because $0^{2} = 0$ $0^2=0$ , the entire answer is $0$ $0$ .
To find the x-intercept, we set $y = 0$ $y=0$ . Then, by multiplying both sides by $x^{2} - 5 x - 6$ $x^2-5x-6$ , $0 = 2 x^{2}$ $0=2x^2$ . $x$ $x$ is therefore also $0$ $0$ .

Alternatively, one can graph this function.
