The correct Answer is:
To find the slope and y-intercept of the given straight lines, we will convert each equation into the slope-intercept form, which is \(y = mx + c\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(c\) is the y-intercept. ### (i) For the equation \(x + y = 0\): 1. **Rearrange the equation** to isolate \(y\): \[ y = -x \] 2. **Identify the slope and y-intercept**: - Slope \(m = -1\) - Y-intercept \(c = 0\) **Final answer for (i)**: Slope = \(-1\), Y-intercept = \(0\) ### (ii) For the equation \(y + 2 = 0\): 1. **Rearrange the equation** to isolate \(y\): \[ y = -2 \] 2. **Identify the slope and y-intercept**: - Slope \(m = 0\) (since there is no \(x\) term) - Y-intercept \(c = -2\) **Final answer for (ii)**: Slope = \(0\), Y-intercept = \(-2\) ### (iii) For the equation \(\frac{y}{x} = 2\): 1. **Multiply both sides by \(x\)** to eliminate the fraction: \[ y = 2x \] 2. **Identify the slope and y-intercept**: - Slope \(m = 2\) - Y-intercept \(c = 0\) **Final answer for (iii)**: Slope = \(2\), Y-intercept = \(0\) ### (iv) For the equation \(5x + 6y = 7\): 1. **Rearrange the equation** to isolate \(y\): \[ 6y = -5x + 7 \] \[ y = -\frac{5}{6}x + \frac{7}{6} \] 2. **Identify the slope and y-intercept**: - Slope \(m = -\frac{5}{6}\) - Y-intercept \(c = \frac{7}{6}\) **Final answer for (iv)**: Slope = \(-\frac{5}{6}\), Y-intercept = \(\frac{7}{6}\) ### Summary of Answers: 1. (i) Slope = \(-1\), Y-intercept = \(0\) 2. (ii) Slope = \(0\), Y-intercept = \(-2\) 3. (iii) Slope = \(2\), Y-intercept = \(0\) 4. (iv) Slope = \(-\frac{5}{6}\), Y-intercept = \(\frac{7}{6}\)
