-7/2;6
This is because: >>>>>>>>>> 14x+4y=24
subtract 14x on both sides >> 4y = -14x + 24
divide both sides by 4 >>>>>> y = -14/4 x + 24/4
simplify >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> y = -7/2 x + 6
=> slope -7/2, y-intercept 6
You basically need to get the equation into the form
y = mx + b.
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Hope this helps.

When you have a line in the form of y = mx + b (what's known as "slope-intercept form"), then m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So just rewrite the equation they give you (which is currently in "standard form") into the other form:
14x + 4y = 24
4y = -14x + 24
y = (-14/4)x + 24/4
y = (-7/2)x + 6
So the answer is -7/2, 6

If you solve for y, it will give you the y = mx + b form for your line, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
14x + 4y = 24
4y = -14x + 24
y = -14/4 x + 6
y = -7/2 x + 6

14x+4y=24
subtract 14 x from both sides
4y=-14x+24
Divide by 4
y=-7/2 x +6
So the slope is -7/2, and the y-intercept is 6

4y = - 14x + 24
y = (- 14/4).x + 6
y = (- 7/2).x + 6
m = (-7/2) and intercept is y = 6

14x+4y=24
-14x -14x
4y=-14x+24
/4 /4
y=-14/4x+24/4
y=-7/2x+6
slope=-7/2
y-intercept=6

Put the equation in standard form:
y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y intercept
