$x$ $x$ -int: $x = \frac{1}{2}$ $x=1/2$

$y$ $y$ -int: $y = 7$ $y=7$

To find the $x$ $x$ -intercept, we set $y$ $y$ equal to zero, and to find the $y$ $y$ -intercept, we set $x$ $x$ equal to zero. Doing that, we get

$0 = - 14 x + 7$ $0=-14x+7$

$\Rightarrow - 14 x = - 7$ $=>-14x=-7$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2}$ $=>x=1/2$ (This is our $x$ $x$ -intercept)

$y = - 14 (0) + 7$ $y=-14(0)+7$

$y = 7$ $y=7$ (This is our $y$ $y$ -intercept)

Hope this helps!
