The y-intercept is where x=0
Plug in x=0 into the equation
0-9=-6y
6y=9
y=1.5
The y-intercept is (0, 1.5)

The y intercept is defined as being the point at which the line crosses the x axis. That means that x is zero at that point. Substituting 0 for x, you get:
0 - 9 = -6y
-9 = -6y
9/6 = y
3/2 = y
So your coordinates are (0, 3/2)

y = (x-9)/6.
slope = x/6
y intercept = 9/6

x - 9 = - 6y
y intercept is when x = 0
0 - 9 = - 6y
y = 9/6 = 1.5

6y=-x+9
y=(-x/6)+(1.5)
Plug zero in for x to determine y intercept
y=(-0/6)+1.5
y=1.5
(0,1.5)
