To find where the line intersects the y-axis, we need to determine the value of \( y \) when \( x = 0 \).

We start with the equation of the line:

\[
14x + 7y = -35
\]

Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the equation, we get:

\[
14(0) + 7y = -35
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
7y = -35
\]

Now, we divide both sides by 7:

\[
y = -5
\]

Thus, the line intersects the y-axis at the point \((0, -5)\).
