(ii) What are their coordinates on a graph?
Coordinates are the points through which line passes.
(iii) How can they be used to graph a line?
If we are given 2 coordinates of the line, locate the two points. A line joining these two points will be required line.
iv)Demonstrate by determining the intercepts of "14x + 7y = 21".

What are the x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear equation?
An intercept is the point where a line intersects and axis. x intercept is on the x axis; y intercept is on the y axis.
(ii) What are their coordinates on a graph?
The coordinates are in the form (x,0) for x intercept and (0,y) for y intercept.
Coordinates are the points through which line passes.
(iii) How can they be used to graph a line?
Any line can be defined and drawn if you know any two points on that line. Assuming a line have both an x and a y intercept, then you have two points. So you can use those two points to draw the line.
If we are given 2 coordinates of the line, locate the two points. A line joining these two points will be required line.
iv)Demonstrate by determining the intercepts of "14x + 7y = 21".
Set x =0 and solve
so the y intercept is the point (0,3)
Set y=0 and solve
So the x intercept is the point (3/2, 0)
Now plot those two points and draw the line that includes them
