x = 7,
y = 7.

Explanation:

We have to remember that equations are easier to solve if put in the form y = mx +c. So,
x+y = 7,
y = -x + 7.
Now we simply substitute the value of x for 0 to find the y intercept, and y by 0 to find the x intercept. So,
y = -0 + 7,
y = 7. This is the y intercept.
0 = -x + 7,
x = 7. This is the x intercept.

Hope it Helps! :D .
