Find the gradient and  y- Intercept of the line 

The correct answer is: we get Gradient = negative 1 half y-intercept = 7

Step by step solution:
The given equation of the line is

x + 2y = 14
We need to convert this equation in the slope-intercept form of the line, which is

y = mx + c
Rewriting the given equation, we have

2y = 14 - x
Dividing by 2, we get

 
Simplifying, we get

 
Comparing the above equation with , we get

Thus, we get

Gradient = 

y-intercept = 7
 

We can find the slope and y-intercept directly from the general form of the equation too; slope =   and y-intercept = , where the general form of equation of a line is ax + by + c = 0. Using this method, be careful to check that the equation is in general form before applying the formula.
