Put the equation \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\) the slope intercept form and find its slope and y - intercept. 

Answer»

Given: the equation is  \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\) 

Concept Used: General equation of line y = mx + c. 

Explanation: 

bx + ay = ab 

⇒ ay = - bx + ab 

⇒ y = \(-\frac{b}{a}\)x + b 

Hence, the slope intercept form of the given line. 

∴ Slope = - b/a and y - intercept = b
