$x$ -int: $x=1/2$

$y$ -int: $y=7$

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

$0=-14x+7$

$=>-14x=-7$

$=>x=1/2$ (This is our $x$ -intercept)

$y=-14(0)+7$

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

Hope this helps!
