The x-intercept is where y=0.
Put y=0 in y = 5x + 6 and solve for x. You get:
5x + 6 = 0
5x = -6
x = -6/5
This corresponds to the point (-6/5, 0) on the graph {x coordinate -6/5, y coordinate 0}.
Similarly for y = 2x + 1:
2x + 1 = 0
2x = -1
x = -1/2
This corresponds to the point (-1/2, 0) on the graph.
Hope this helps.

5x + 6 = 0
5x = - 6
x = - 6 / 5
x intercept is (- 6/5,0)
2x + 1 = 0
2x = - 1
x = - 1/2
x intercept is (- 1/2, 0)

x-intercept point (x,0)
0=5x+6
x=-6/5
0=2x+1
x=-1/2

Y = 5 x + 6 intercepts the y axis in 6 and the x axis in - 6/5
y = 2 x + 1 intercepts the y axis in 1 and the x axis in -1/2

x-intercept of y=5x+6
Set y=0
Solve for x
x-intercept= -6/5 or -1.2
Similarly x-intercept for y=2x+1 is -1/2 or -0.5

Set both equations to 0:
5x+6=0
5x=-6
x=-6/5
(-6/5,0)
2x+1=0
2x=-1
x=-1/2
(-1/2,0)
