$x-intercept = a = - 14, y-intercept = b = (- \frac{14}{9})$ $color(green)("x-intercept " = a = -14, " y-intercept " = b = (-14/9)$

$- x - 9 y = 14$ $-x - 9y = 14$

$- \frac{x}{14} - (\frac{9}{14}) y = 1$ $-x / 14 - (9/14)y = 1$

$(- \frac{1}{14}) x + (- \frac{9}{14}) y = 1$ $(-1/14) x + (-9/14) y = 1$

$\frac{x}{- 14} + \frac{y}{- \frac{14}{9}} = 1$ $x / (-14) + y / (-14/9) = 1$

It's in the intercept form $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$ $x/a + y/b = 1$

$:. color(green)("x-intercept " = a = -14, " y-intercept " = b = (-14/9)$

What are the intercepts of -x-9y=14−x−9y=14-x-9y=14?
