How to play Em6/9 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the two strings from the A to the D at the 2nd fret, your middle finger on the B string at the 2nd fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the low E and G strings ring open.

An easier Em6/9
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your index finger on the A string at the 4th fret and your middle finger on the D string at the 4th fret. Let the low E, G, B and high E strings ring open.
