Answer
(i) slope = - 4 ⇒ m = -4
y-intercept = 2 ⇒ c = 2
Equation is : y = mx + c, where m is slope and c is y-intercept.
⇒ y = (-4)x + 2
⇒ y = -4x + 2
Hence, the equation of line is y = -4x + 2.
(ii) slope = 0 ⇒ m = 0
y-intercept = -5 ⇒ c = -5
Equation is : y = mx + c, where m is slope and c is y-intercept.
⇒ y = 0 x - 5
⇒ y = - 5
⇒ y + 5 = 0
Hence, the equation of line is y + 5 = 0.
(iii) slope = 3 ⇒ m = 3
y-intercept = 4 ⇒ c = 4
Equation is : y = mx + c, where m is slope and c is y-intercept.
⇒ y = 3x + 4
Hence, the equation of line is y = 3x + 4.
(iv) slope = 1 ⇒ m = 1
y-intercept = -5 ⇒ c = -5
Equation is : y = mx + c, where m is slope and c is y-intercept.
⇒ y = x - 5
Hence, the equation of line is y = x - 5.
