1. Find the slope, x-intercept and y-intercept of the line `2x+3y=4`Solution:The given equation sholud be written in the form `y=mx+c`
`2x+3y=4`
`:. 3y=-2x+4`
`:. y=-2/3x+4/3`
Comparing this equation with `y=mx+c`, we get
`m=-2/3` and `c=4/3`
Now, to find the intercept on X-axis put `y=0` in the given equation.
The value of `x` will give the intercept of the line on X-axis
`:. 2x+3y=4`
`:. 2x+3(0)=4`
`:. 2x=4`
`:. x=2`
Hence, the slope of the line is `-2/3`, the x-intercept is `2` and the y-intercept is `4/3`
2. Find the slope, x-intercept and y-intercept of the line `2x+3y-6=0`Solution:The given equation sholud be written in the form `y=mx+c`
`2x+3y-6=0`
`:. 3y=-2x+6`
`:. y=-2/3x+2`
Comparing this equation with `y=mx+c`, we get
`m=-2/3` and `c=2`
Now, to find the intercept on X-axis put `y=0` in the given equation.
The value of `x` will give the intercept of the line on X-axis
`:. 2x+3y=6`
`:. 2x+3(0)=6`
`:. 2x=6`
`:. x=3`
Hence, the slope of the line is `-2/3`, the x-intercept is `3` and the y-intercept is `2`
3. Find the slope, x-intercept and y-intercept of the line `3x+6y-8=0`Solution:The given equation sholud be written in the form `y=mx+c`
`3x+6y-8=0`
`:. 6y=-3x+8`
`:. y=-1/2x+4/3`
Comparing this equation with `y=mx+c`, we get
`m=-1/2` and `c=4/3`
Now, to find the intercept on X-axis put `y=0` in the given equation.
The value of `x` will give the intercept of the line on X-axis
`:. 3x+6y=8`
`:. 3x+6(0)=8`
`:. 3x=8`
`:. x=8/3`
Hence, the slope of the line is `-1/2`, the x-intercept is `8/3` and the y-intercept is `4/3`
4. Find the slope, x-intercept and y-intercept of the line `4x+5y+7=0`Solution:The given equation sholud be written in the form `y=mx+c`
`4x+5y+7=0`
`:. 5y=-4x-7`
`:. y=-4/5x-7/5`
Comparing this equation with `y=mx+c`, we get
`m=-4/5` and `c=-7/5`
Now, to find the intercept on X-axis put `y=0` in the given equation.
The value of `x` will give the intercept of the line on X-axis
`:. 4x+5y=-7`
`:. 4x+5(0)=-7`
`:. 4x=-7`
`:. x=-7/4`
Hence, the slope of the line is `-4/5`, the x-intercept is `-7/4` and the y-intercept is `-7/5`
