To begin with, your terminology is incorrect. Intercepts are points and points (in ) are specified using ordered pairs. So giving a number and calling it an intercept is incorrect. Presuming you mean that the -coordinate of the -intercept is 12 and the -coordinate of the -intercept is 14, then you have been given two points on the desired line, namely and .

Use the two-point form:



where and are the coordinates of the given points.

Once you have made the substitutions of the coordinates, simplify and solve for in terms of everything else. That is to say, put your equation in the form:
