Verified Answer :

x+3y = 14
3y = -x +14
y = -1/3 x +14/3
 so the y intercept is 14/3

Answer:

D. \(\frac{14}{3}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation \(x+3y=14\). We are asked to find the y-intercept of the line.

We know that slope-intercept form of an equation is \(y=mx+b\), where,

m = Slope of line,

b = The y-intercept.

First of all, we will convert our given equation in slope-intercept form by separating y on one side of equation as:

\(x-x+3y=-x+14\)

\(3y=-x+14\)

\(\frac{3y}{3}=-\frac{x}{3}+\frac{14}{3}\)

\(y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{14}{3}\)

We can see that value of b is \(\frac{14}{3}\) for our given equation, therefore, y-intercept is \(\frac{14}{3}\).
