Answer

(i) x + 3y + 5 = 0

⇒ 3y = -x - 5

⇒ y = -13x53\dfrac{1}{3}x - \dfrac{5}{3}

∴ Slope = coefficient of x = 13\dfrac{-1}{3}

And, y-intercept = constant term = 53\dfrac{-5}{3}

Hence, the slope = 13\dfrac{-1}{3} and y-intercept = 53\dfrac{-5}{3}.

(ii) 3x - y - 8 = 0

⇒ y = 3x - 8

∴ Slope = coefficient of x = 3

And, y-intercept = constant term = -8

Hence, the slope = 3 and y-intercept = -8.

(iii) 5x = 4y + 7

⇒ 4y = 5x - 7

⇒ y = 54\dfrac{5}{4} x - 74\dfrac{7}{4}

∴ Slope = coefficient of x = 54\dfrac{5}{4}

And, y-intercept = constant term = 74\dfrac{-7}{4}

Hence, the slope = 54\dfrac{5}{4} and y-intercept = 74\dfrac{-7}{4}.

(iv) x = 5y - 4

⇒ 5y = x + 4

⇒ y = 15\dfrac{1}{5} x + 45\dfrac{4}{5}

∴ Slope = coefficient of x = 15\dfrac{1}{5}

And, y-intercept = constant term = 45\dfrac{4}{5}

Hence, the slope = 15\dfrac{1}{5} and y-intercept = 45\dfrac{4}{5}.

(v) y = 7x - 2

∴ Slope = coefficient of x = 7

And, y-intercept = constant term = -2

Hence, the slope = 7 and y-intercept = -2.

(vi) 3y = 7

⇒ 3y = 0 ×\times x + 7

⇒ y = 0 ×\times x + 73\dfrac{7}{3}

∴ Slope = coefficient of x = 0

And, y-intercept = constant term = 73\dfrac{7}{3}

Hence, the slope = 0 and y-intercept = 73\dfrac{7}{3}.

(vii) 4y + 9 = 0

⇒ 4y = 0 ×\times x - 9

⇒ y = 0 ×\times x - 94\dfrac{9}{4}

∴ Slope = coefficient of x = 0

And, y-intercept = constant term = 94\dfrac{-9}{4}

Hence, the slope = 0 and y-intercept = 94\dfrac{-9}{4}.
