x-intercept: where the graph intersects the x-axis -- i.e., where y is 0.
Set y=0 in the equation and solve for x.
6x-5(0)=9

y-intercept: where the graph intersects the y-axis -- i.e., where x is 0.
Set x=0 in the equation and solve for y.
6(0)-5y=9

Reescribe la ecuación en forma de intersección:
x%2Fa+%2B+y%2Fb=+1, donde a es la intersección con el eje x y b es la intersección con el eje y.
6x - 5y = 9 --> 6x/9 - 5y/9 = 1 --> x/(3/2) + y/(-9/5) = 1
--> La intersección con el eje x es (3/2,0) y la intersección con el eje y es (0,-9/5).
