Sloe of line is $3$ and intercept on $y$ axis is $7$ .

Slop intercept form of equation of a line is $y=mx+c$ , where $m$ is the slope of the line and $c$ is the intercept of the line on $y$ -axis.

Hence to find slope and intercept for $6x+2y=14$ , one should first solve for $y$ . From the equation we get

$2y=-6x+14$ or dividing each side by $2$ , we get

$y=3x+7$

Comparing it with $y=mx+c$ , we get

Sloe of line is $3$ and intercept on $y$ axis is $7$ .
