Question
Find the slope, x-intercept, y-intercept of the following line : 2x + 3y – 6 = 0
Advertisements
Solution
Given equation of the line is 2x + 3y – 6 = 0
Comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get
a = 2, b = 3, c = – 6
∴ Slope of the line = `(-"a")/"b" = (-2)/3`
x-intercept = `(-"c")/"a" = (-(-6))/2` = 3
y-intercept = `(-"c")/"b" = (-(-6))/3` = 2
