See below

rearranging the equation,
$\frac{5 x}{- 2} - \frac{6 y}{- 2} = 1$ $(5x)/-2 -(6y)/-2 = 1$

$\frac{x}{- \frac{2}{5}} + \frac{y}{\frac{1}{3}} = 1$ $x/(-2/5) + y/(1/3) = 1$

The x-intercept is $- \frac{2}{5}$ $-2/5$
The y-intercept is $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$

Plotting it,
graph{5x-6y=-2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
