Hi,

-5x+9y= -45     or  y = (5/9)x - 5

Finding the y-intercept  (highlight%280%29, _)  

highlight%280%29 + 9y = -45 

      y = -5    || the y-intercept  (highlight%280%29, -5) 



Finding the x-intercept  ( _, highlight%280%29)   

 -5x -2·highlight%280%29 = -45

     x = 9     ||   the x-intercept is (9 , highlight%280%29) 

Plot (0,-5) and (9,0) and connect with a Line
