$color(brown)("x-intercept " = 5, " y-intercept " = 6$

$y = -(6/5) x + 6$

$" equation is in slope - intercept form " y = mx + c$

$"As c is the y-intercept, " c = 6$

When y = 0, we get the x-intercept.

$:. 0 = -(6/5) x + 6$

$(6/5) x = 6 " or " x = (cancel6 * 5 ) / cancel6 = 5$

$:. " x-intercept " = a = 5$

$color(crimson)("Intercept form of equation is " x / 5 + y/6 = 1$

What are the intercepts of : y= - 6/5x + 6 y= - 6/5x + 6 ?
