Answer:

slope: 7

y-intercept: 1/2

Explanation:

Put it into the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b will be the y-intercept. (For example, in the equation y = 3x + 2 the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 2).


0=1-2y+14x\\2y=1+14x\\2y = 14x+ 1\\y = 7x + 1/2

So you know that m = 7, so the slope is 7

and

b = 1/2, so the y-intercept is 1/2.
