#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#
