Answer:

y=2/3x+14

Explanation:

The standard form of an equation in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept.

Given a y-intercept of 14 and a slope of 2/3, we can plug into the variables and get the equation y=2/3x+14

The x-intercept would be when y=0, so plugging in y=0 to the equation gets us:

0=2/3x+14

-14=2/3x

21=x

So the x-intercept is 21
