What is the y-intercept of the linear equation 59x + 14y - 112 = 0?

Answer: Option A

$$\begin{array}{rl}& 59x+14y-112=0\\ & \Rightarrow 59x+14y=112\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{59x}{112}+\frac{14y}{112}=1\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{x}{\frac{112}{59}}+\frac{y}{8}=1\\ & \therefore y\text{ - intercept of the line is }8\end{array}$$
