y-intercept $(0, - 6)$ $(0,-6)$
x-intercept $(- 6, 0)$ $(-6,0)$

Given -

$- x - y = 6$ $-x-y=6$

To find the y-intercept, put $x = 0$ $x=0$

$- (0) - y = 6$ $-(0)-y=6$
$y = - 6$ $y=-6$
$(0, - 6)$ $(0, -6)$

To find the x-intercept put $y = 0$ $y=0$

$- x - (0) = 6$ $-x-(0)=6$
$- x = 6$ $-x=6$
$x = - 6$ $x=-6$

$(- 6, 0)$ $(-6, 0)$
