Determine the intercepts of the line. y=-9x-14

The y-intercept is - 14. The x-intercept is - 1.56

y = - 9x - 14

We already know the y-intercept of the line is going to be - 14. We can tell this because the equation is written in slope-intercept form.

To find the x-intercept, we need to set the value of y equal to 0.

0 = - 9x - 14

Add 14 to both sides.

14 = - 9x

Divide both sides by - 9.

x = 14/-9 = - 1.56

x intercept is (-14/9, 0)

y intercept is (0, - 14)
