find the x and y+-+intercepts of the graph of 9x+-+3y+=+5
write 9x+-+3y+=+5 in slope-intercept form:
9x+-+5+=+3y
9x%2F3+-+5%2F3+=+y
3x+-+5%2F3+=+y

set y=0
9x+-+3%2A0+=+5
9x++=+5
x++=+5%2F9
x++=+0.55555555555555555555555555555556
x++=+0.6 ....x+-+intercepts is at (0.6,0)

set x=0
9%2A0+-+3y+=+5
-+3y+=+5
y++=+5%2F-3
y++=-+1.6666666666666666666666666666667
y++=+-+1.7 ....y+-+intercepts is at (0,- 1.7)
