**Problem: Finding Intercepts of a Linear Equation**

1. Find the ordered pairs that name the locations of the \( x \)- and \( y \)-intercepts of the graph of the linear equation. Use integers or fractions in reduced form.

\[ 7x - 2y = 14 \]

- **\( x \)-intercept**: _________________
- **\( y \)-intercept**: _________________

**Explanation:**

For the \( x \)-intercept, set \( y = 0 \) and solve for \( x \).  
For the \( y \)-intercept, set \( x = 0 \) and solve for \( y \).

Expert Solution
Step 1

Topic - x and y intercepts of a linear equation

We are given an equation 7x-2y=14

y intercept  is a point where graph cuts y axis  and To find y intercept ,substitute x =0

x intercept  is a point where graph cuts y axis To find x intercept ,substitute y=0
