Find the slope, x-intercept, y-intercept of the following line : x + 2y = 0

Sum

Solution

Given equation of the line is x + 2y = 0
Comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0,
we get
a = 1, b = 2, c = 0

∴ Slope of the line = `(-"a")/"b" = (-1)/2`

x-intercept = `(-"c")/"a" = (0)/1` = 0

y-intercept = `(-"c")/"b" = (0)/2` = 0
