Answer to Q1

x-intercept is (-1,0).

Explanation:

we solve for x-intercept

x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero.

Set y=0 to find x-intercept.

7(0)-14x=14

0-14x=14

-14x=14

multiplying by 1/14 to both sides of equation

(1/14)(-14x)=1/14×14

-x=1

x=-1

Now, x-intercept is (-1,0).

Answer to Q2

y-intercept is (0,2)

Sep-by-step explanation:

we solve for y-intercept.

y-intercept is a point where x is zero.

Set x=0 for y-inercept.

7y-14(0)=14

7y-0=14

7y=14

Multiplying 1/7 to both sides of equation

(1/7)(7y)=(1/7)(14)

y=2

Now, y-intercept is (0,2).
