The equation is given


25x^2+81y^2=1

To determine y-intercept substitute x=0


0+81y^2=1
y^2=(1)/(81)
y=\sqrt[]{(1)/(81)}=\pm(1)/(9)

To determine the x-intercept , substitute y=0


25x^2+0=1
x^{}=\sqrt[]{(1)/(25)}=\pm(1)/(5)

Hence the x-intercepts are


(1)/(5),-(1)/(5)

The y-intercepts are


(1)/(9),(-1)/(9)
