It's really a question of what kind of plot you want, since you do not 
have either x or y as an explicit function of x.  Moreover, it's unclear 
whether you want to regard this as a 2-dimensional curve or as a 
3-dimensional surface.  In either case, some version of a contour plot 
will directly give what I think you are asking for:

  ContourPlot[8x  -x^2 + 14y - y^2 == 49, {x, 0, 12}, {y, 0, 12},
              Frame->False, Axes->True, AxesLabel->{x,y}]

  ContourPlot3D[8x - x^2 + 14y - y^2 == 49, {x,0,10}, {y,0,12}, {z,-5,5},
           AxesLabel->{x,y,z}]
