To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.

X-intercept is where y=0. Plug in 0 for y and solve for x.
8x-7(0)=112
x=14 So your x-intercept is at (14,0).
Y-intercept is where x=0. Plug in 0 for x and solve for y.
8(0)-7y=112
y=-16 So you y-intercept is at (0,-16).
