The correct Answer is:
To convert the given equations into slope-intercept form and find their slope and y-intercepts, we will follow these steps: ### (i) For the equation \( 5x + 12y = 26 \): **Step 1:** Isolate \( y \) on one side of the equation. \[ 12y = -5x + 26 \] **Step 2:** Divide every term by 12 to solve for \( y \). \[ y = -\frac{5}{12}x + \frac{26}{12} \] **Step 3:** Simplify \( \frac{26}{12} \). \[ y = -\frac{5}{12}x + \frac{13}{6} \] Now, we have the equation in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + c \) where: - Slope \( m = -\frac{5}{12} \) - y-intercept \( c = \frac{13}{6} \) ### (ii) For the equation \( 6x - 8y + 5 = 0 \): **Step 1:** Rearrange the equation to isolate \( y \). \[ -8y = -6x - 5 \] **Step 2:** Multiply through by -1 to make \( y \) positive. \[ 8y = 6x + 5 \] **Step 3:** Divide every term by 8 to solve for \( y \). \[ y = \frac{6}{8}x + \frac{5}{8} \] **Step 4:** Simplify \( \frac{6}{8} \). \[ y = \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{5}{8} \] Now, we have the equation in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + c \) where: - Slope \( m = \frac{3}{4} \) - y-intercept \( c = \frac{5}{8} \) ### Summary of Results: 1. For \( 5x + 12y = 26 \): - Slope \( m = -\frac{5}{12} \) - y-intercept \( c = \frac{13}{6} \) 2. For \( 6x - 8y + 5 = 0 \): - Slope \( m = \frac{3}{4} \) - y-intercept \( c = \frac{5}{8} \)
