Question

For the equation of straight line $2x-3y+5=0$, match the following.

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
• B. $\frac{-5}{2}$
• C. $\frac{5}{3}$

Answer 1

Given straight line is 2x - 3y + 5 = 0
$\Rightarrow$ y = $\frac{2}{3}$x + $\frac{5}{3}$

Comparing given line with point slope form, y=mx+c,
we get m (slope) = $\frac{2}{3}$.

To find the x-intercept, put y = 0,
x-intercept = $\frac{-5}{2}$

To find y-intercept, put x = 0,
y-intercept = $\frac{5}{3}$
