The equation is .

First find the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

                           (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

                                             (Zero product property: )

The y-intercept is 7.

The co-ordinate point is (0, 7)

Next find the x-intercept.

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

                               (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

                   (Subtract 7 from each side)

                                  (Apply additive inverse property: )

                           (Divide each side by negative 14)

                                        (Cancel common terms)

                                          (Divide: )

The x-intercept is

The co-ordinate point is (, 0)

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.

The x-intercept is   and y-intercept is 7.
