Answer
(i) 3x + 2y + 4 = 0
⇒ 2y = - 3x - 4
⇒ y =
⇒ y =
⇒ y =
∴ Slope = coefficient of x =
And, y-intercept = constant term = -2
Hence, slope = and y-intercept = -2.
(ii) x - 3y - 8 = 0
⇒ 3y = x - 8
⇒ y =
⇒ y =
∴ Slope = coefficient of x =
And, y-intercept = constant term =
Hence, slope = and y-intercept = .
(iii) x + y + 4 = 0
⇒ y = -x - 4
∴ Slope = coefficient of x = -1
And, y-intercept = constant term = -4
Hence, slope = -1 and y-intercept = -4.
(iv) x = 3y + 2
⇒ 3y = x - 2
⇒ y =
⇒ y =
∴ Slope = coefficient of x =
And, y-intercept = constant term =
Hence, slope = and y-intercept = .
(v) y = 5 - 4x
⇒ y = -4x + 5
∴ Slope = coefficient of x = -4
And, y-intercept = constant term = 5
Hence, slope = -4 and y-intercept = 5.
(vi) 2y + 5 = 0
⇒ 2y = -5
⇒ y =
⇒ y = 0 +
∴ Slope = coefficient of x = 0
And, y-intercept = constant term =
Hence, slope = 0 and y-intercept = .
