Using #y=mx+b#.

Explanation:

#y=mx+b# is slope intercept form. #m# meaning slope, and #b# meaning y intercept.

You're given #y=14x# which could be interpreted as #y=14x+0# which lines up very well with slope intercept form. The coefficient of x is 14, which is the slope (where #m# is), and the addition at the end of the function is 0, which means that your y intercept is 0 (#b#).

Your fuction will look like this graph below once you graph.
