x-intercept: $(14, 0)$
y-intercept: $(0, -14)$

x-intercept: $($ x-value $, 0) rarr$ Where the graph intersects the x-axis

y-intercept: $($ y-value $, 0) rarr$ Where the graph intersects the y-axis

Since the equation is in slope-intercept form ( $y=mx+b rarr m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept), the y-intercept is $(0, b)$

The y-intercept is $(0, -14)$ .

To find the x-intercept, plug in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ :

$0=x-14$

$x=14$

$(14, 0)$
