It would be easiest to convert to slope intercept form to find the y intercept

52y - 12x = 5
52y = 5 + 12x
y = $\frac{3}{13} x$ $3/13x$ + $\frac{5}{52}$ $5/52$

The y intercept is at (0, $\frac{5}{52}$ $5/52$ ). To find the x intercept, plug in 0 for y.

52(0) - 12x = 5
-12x = 5
x = $- \frac{5}{12}$ $-5/12$

The x intercept is a ( $- \frac{5}{12}$ $-5/12$ , 0)

Good continuation!
