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.
