how do i determine the point of intersection of a circle with a radius of 14 and the line coming in at a 35 degree angle

depends on the line. You have the slope of the line, but no idea where it is. Maybe it doesn't even intersect the circle.

Now, if the line goes through the center of the circle, and the center of the circle is at (0,0) then they intersect at

(14cos35°,14sin35°)

Naturally, if the center is at (h,k) then they intersect at

(h+14cos35°,k+14sin35°)

Also, they intersect at a point diagonally opposite from the above. If the line does not go through the center, then all bets are off.
