Answer
Given, equation :
⇒ 5x - 5y = 12
⇒ -5y = -5x + 12
⇒ 5y = 5x - 12
⇒ y =
⇒ y = x -
Comparing above equation with y = mx + c (where m is slope and c is the y-intercept), we get :
⇒ m = 1 and c =
To find x-intercept of the line, we put y = 0 in above equation:
0 = x -
⇒ x =
∴ Slope = 1 and x-intercept =
Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
