Q1.
Let the linear function be y = a × x + b. Here, a is the slope and b is the y-intercept. It is given that,
at x = 1, y = -0.5 = a × 1 + b = a+b .....1
at x = 3, y = 0.5 = a×3 + b = 3a+b .......2
We need just 2 points as the number of unknowns are two. The rest of the points can be used to verify our result.
Adding equation 1 and 2, we get
0 = 4a + 2b
or b = -2a
Putting b = -2a in equation 2, we get
0.5 = 3a - 2a = a
Hence, a = 0.5 and b = -2a = -1.
Thus the linear function is y = 0.5x - 1. Hence, slope = 0.5 and intercept = -1.
Q2.
The line intercepts the y-axis at (0,3) and the x-axis at (4.5,0). The slope can be calculated by two methods. One is following the approach in the previous question. Another is using the definition of slope of a line.
Slope = m = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) ; where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are any two points on the line.
Thus m = (3-0)/(0-4.5) = 3/(-4.5) = -2/3
Q3.
Using the same approach as Q2, the line intercepts the y-axis at (0,4) and the x-axis at (1,0). Now we have the required two points for slope calculation.
m = (4-0)/(0-1) = 4/(-1) = -4
Q4.
It is similar to Q1. Let the relationship be y = ax + b.
at x = 1, y = 8.5 = a × 1 + b = a+b .....1
at x = 3, y = 11.5 = a×3 + b = 3a+b .......2
Subtracting equation 1 from 2, we get
11.5 - 8.5 = 3a+b-a-b
or 3 = 2a
or a = 3/2
Putting a = 3/2 in equation 1, we get
8.5 = 1.5 + b
or b = 7.
Thus the linear function is y = (3/2)x + 7. Hence, slope = 3/2 and y-intercept = 7.
