  x-intercept: -14/9

  y-intercept: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one of the easiest forms for finding intercepts. To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and divide both sides by the coefficient of x.

  -9x = 14 . . . . . set y=0

  x = -14/9 . . . . divide by -9

__

To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and divide both sides by the coefficient of y.

  2y = 14 . . . . set x=0

  y = 7 . . . . . . divide by 2

The x-intercept is -14/9; the y-intercept is 7.

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3
