The correct Answer is:
To find the slope and the y-intercept of the given lines, we will convert each equation into the slope-intercept form, which is given by: \[ y = mx + c \] where \( m \) is the slope and \( c \) is the y-intercept. ### (i) For the equation \( 2x - 3y + 5 = 0 \): 1. **Rearrange the equation**: Start by isolating \( y \). \[ 2x - 3y + 5 = 0 \implies -3y = -2x - 5 \] 2. **Divide by -3**: \[ y = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{5}{3} \] 3. **Identify slope and y-intercept**: From the equation \( y = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{5}{3} \), we can see that: - Slope \( m = \frac{2}{3} \) - y-intercept \( c = \frac{5}{3} \) ### (ii) For the equation \( 2y + 5x = 7 \): 1. **Rearrange the equation**: Isolate \( y \). \[ 2y = -5x + 7 \] 2. **Divide by 2**: \[ y = -\frac{5}{2}x + \frac{7}{2} \] 3. **Identify slope and y-intercept**: From the equation \( y = -\frac{5}{2}x + \frac{7}{2} \), we find: - Slope \( m = -\frac{5}{2} \) - y-intercept \( c = \frac{7}{2} \) ### (iii) For the equation \( 2y - 5 = 0 \): 1. **Rearrange the equation**: Isolate \( y \). \[ 2y = 5 \] 2. **Divide by 2**: \[ y = 0x + \frac{5}{2} \] 3. **Identify slope and y-intercept**: From the equation \( y = 0x + \frac{5}{2} \), we see: - Slope \( m = 0 \) - y-intercept \( c = \frac{5}{2} \) ### Final Results: - For \( 2x - 3y + 5 = 0 \): Slope = \( \frac{2}{3} \), y-intercept = \( \frac{5}{3} \) - For \( 2y + 5x = 7 \): Slope = \( -\frac{5}{2} \), y-intercept = \( \frac{7}{2} \) - For \( 2y - 5 = 0 \): Slope = \( 0 \), y-intercept = \( \frac{5}{2} \)
