Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

3

Using (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)

m = $\frac{6-0}{-3-0}$ = $\frac{6}{-3}$ = - 2

Since the line passes through the origin (0, 0) then y- intercept is 0

y = - 2x ← equation of line

4

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3)

m = $\frac{3-0}{0-6}$ = $\frac{3}{-6}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 3 ← equation of line

5

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (-2, - 3)

m = $\frac{-3-3}{-2-0}$ = $\frac{-6}{-2}$ = 3

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = 3x + 3 ← equation of line
