In order to answer this question, I'll have to get that equation

in standard form = = = > y = mx + b.

14x + 4y = 24

Subtract 14x from each side: 4y = - 14x + 24

Divide each side by 4 : y = - 3.5x + 6

There's the standard form we need = = > y = - 3.5x + 6

That - 3.5 is our slope.

That 6 is our y-intercept.
