Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Adsorption of a gas on an adsorbent follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The slope and intercept (on $y$-axis) of the isotherm are $0.5$ and $1.0$ respectively. What is the value of $\frac{x}{m}$, when the pressure of the gas $(p)$ is $100 \ atm$?

When $\left( \frac{m}{x} \right)$ is plotted against $\frac{1}{p}$ for the equation $\frac{x}{m} = \frac{ap}{1 + bp}$,we get a straight line. What are the slope and intercept of this line?
