There are at least two algebraic ways. The simple way is to put x = 0 and solve:

Thus: -6*0 -9y = -3

that is -9y = -3 or 9y = 3 so that y = 1/3

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + c).

Thus: -9y = 6x - 3

So that y = -2/3*x + 1/3 and so c = intercept 1/3

The non-algebraic way is to draw the graph and read off the value of the intercept.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
