Two best choices are find x and y intercepts by separately letting x and y be zero and solving for the other variable; or just solve for y in terms of x and read the information from the slope-intercept form.

4y=-5x-6
y=-%285%2F4%29x-6%2F4
highlight%28y=-%285%2F4%29x-3%2F2%29
Slants downward and intersects the y-axis at -3%2F2.
