You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8X-7Y-14=0 OR -7Y=-8X+14 OR Y=8/7X-2 THUS A SLOPE OF 8/7 AND A Y INTERCEPT OF
-2 GIVE A X INTERCEPT 0=8/7X-2 OR X=2/(8/7) OR X=2*(7/8) OR X=7/4
THUS THE TWO POINTS ARE (0,-2) & (7/4,0)
NOW YOU CAN EITHER PICK ATTIONAL POINTS FROM THE LINE COORDINATES OR USING Y=8/7X-2 FIND TWO OTHER SETS OF POINTS ON THIS LINE.
