Which of the following statement is / are correct for equation 2x - 3y + 5 = 0
1. Slope of the straight line is 23
2. x-intercept of the straight line is −52
3. y-intercept of the straight line is 53
All 1, 2 & 3
Given straight line is 2x - 3y + 5 = 0
Comparing given line with general from of line
ax + by + c = 0
a = 2, b= -3 &c = 5
y = −ab×−ca
Slope is −ab=−2−3=23
Given equation can also be written in intercept form
2x - 3y + 5 = 0
2x - 3y = -5
2x−5−3y−5=1
x−52+y53=1
Comparing this equation with xa+yb=1
X- intercept = −52
Y- intercept = 53
All 1,2 and 3 statements are correct.
