x=7y=14

Explanation:

The intercepts are where the graph crosses the two axes.
The y axis is the line x=0
The x axis is the line y=0
So substitute the values x=0 and y=0

2x+0=14.
2x=14.
x=14

0+y=14
y=14

x=7
y=14

Explanation:

it intercepts the y axis when the x equal to zero.

2(0)+y=14

at y=14

it intercepts the x axis when the y equal to zero.

2(x)+0=14

x=7
