Y-intercept = $- \frac{5}{17}$ $-5/17$ and X-intercept= $- \frac{5}{12}$ $-5/12$

Explanation:

$- 12 x - 17 y = 5 or 17 y = - 12 x - 5 or y = - \frac{12}{17} \cdot x - \frac{5}{17}$ $-12x-17y=5 or 17y =-12x-5 or y= -12/17*x -5/17$ So y-intercept is $- \frac{5}{17}$ $-5/17$ To find x-intercept putting y=0 in the equation we get $- 12 x = 5 or x = - \frac{5}{12}$ $-12x=5 or x= -5/12$ So x-intercept is $- \frac{5}{12}$ $-5/12$
