For the equation given below, find the slope and the $y-i$ntercept$:4y + 9 = 0$
AnswerEquation of any straight line in the form $y = mx + c,$
where slope$ = m($co$-$efficient of $x)$ and $y-$intercept $= c($constant term$)$
$4y + 9 = 0$
$4y = 0 · x - 9 y$
$=\frac{0}{4} x-\frac{9}{4}$
$y=0 \cdot x+$$\left(-\frac{9}{4}\right)$
Therefore,
slope $=$ co$-$efficient of $x = 0$
$y-$intercept $=$ constant term $= -\frac{9}{4}$

For the equation given below, find the slope and the $y-$intercept$:3y = 7$
AnswerEquation of any straight line in the form $y = mx + c,$ where slope $= m($co$-$efficient of $x)$ and $y-$intercept $= c($constant term$)$
$3y = 7$
$3y = 0 · x + 7$
$y =\frac{0}{7} x+\frac{7}{3}$
$y=0 \cdot x+\frac{7}{3}$
Therefore,
slope $=$ co$-$efficient of $x = 0$
$y-$intercept $=$ constant term $=\frac{7}{3}$.

For the equation given below, find the slope and the $y-$intercept:$x= 5y - 4$
AnswerEquation of any straight line in the form $y = mx + c,$
where slope $= m ($co$-$efficient of $x)$ and $y-$ intercept $= c($constant term$)$
$x= 5y - 4$
$5y = x + 4$
$y=\frac{x+4}{5}$
$y=\frac{1}{5} x+\frac{4}{5}$
Therefore,
slope $=$ co$-$efficient of $x=\frac{1}{5}$
$ y-$intercept $=$constant term$=\frac{4}{5}$

For the equation given below, find the slope and the $y-$intercept:$5x = 4y + 7$
AnswerEquation of any straight line in the form $y = mx + c,$
where slope $= m ($co$-$efficient of $x)$ and $y-$intercept $= c($constant term$)$
$5x = 4y + 7$
$5x = 4y + 7$
$4y = 5x - 7$
$y=\frac{5 x-7}{4}$
$y=\frac{5}{4} x+\left(-\frac{7}{4}\right)$
Therefore,
slope $-$ co$-$efficient of $x=\frac{5}{4}$
$y$-intercept $=$ constant term $=-\frac{7}{4}$

For the equation given below, find the slope and the $y-$intercept$:x + 3y + 5 = 0$
AnswerEquation of any straight line in the form $y = mx + c,$
where slope $= m($co$-$efficient of $x)$ and $y-$intercept $= c($constant term$)$
$x + 3y + 5 = 0$
$x + 3y + 5 = 0$
$3y = - x - 5$
$y = \frac{-x-5}{3} y$
$=\frac{-1}{3} x+\left(-\frac{5}{3}\right)$
Therefore,
slope $=$ co$-$efficient of x $=-\frac{1}{3}$
$y-$intercept $=$ constant term $=-\frac{5}{3}$.

In the following, find the co-ordinates of the point whose abscissa is the solution of the first equation and ordinate is the solution of the second equation:$\frac{2 a }{3}-1=\frac{ a }{2} ; \frac{15-4 b }{7}=\frac{2 b -1}{3}$.
Answer$\frac{2 a }{3}-1=\frac{ a }{2} ; \frac{15-4 b }{7}=\frac{2 b -1}{3}$
Now
$\frac{2 a}{3}-1=\frac{a}{2}$
$\frac{2 a}{3}-\frac{a}{2}=1$
$\frac{4 a-3 a}{6}=1 $
$a=6$
Again
$\frac{15-4 b}{7}=\frac{2 b-1}{3}$
$45 - 12b = 14b - 7$
$45 + 7 = 14b + 12b$
$52 = 26b$
$2 = b$
$\therefore $ The co$-$ordinates of the point $(6, 2)$

In the following, find the coordinates of the point whose abscissa is the solution of the first equation and ordinate is the solution of the second equation:$3-2 x=7 ; 2 y+1=10-2 \frac{1}{2} y$.
Answer$3-2 x=7 ; 2 y+1=10-2 \frac{1}{2} y$
Now
$3 - 2x = 7$
$3 - 7 = 2x$
$-4 = 2x$
$-2 = x$
Again
$2 y+1=10-2 \frac{1}{2} y$
$2 y+1=10-\frac{5}{2} y$
$4y + 2 = 20 - 5y$
$4y + 5y = 20 - 2$
$9y = 18$
$y = 2$
$\therefore $ The co$-$ordinates of the point $(-2, 2)$
