Answer
(i) slope = 2 ⇒ m = 2
y-intercept = 3 ⇒ c = 3
∴ Equation is : y = mx + c
⇒ y = 2x + 3
Hence, the equation of the line is y = 2x + 3.
(ii) slope = 5 ⇒ m = 5
y-intercept = -8 ⇒ c = -8
∴ Equation is : y = mx + c
⇒ y = 5x - 8
Hence, the equation of the line is y = 5x - 8.
(iii) slope = -4 ⇒ m = -4
y-intercept = 2 ⇒ c = 2
∴ Equation is : y = mx + c
⇒ y = -4x + 2
⇒ 4x + y = 2
Hence, the equation of the line is 4x + y = 2.
(iv) slope = -3 ⇒ m = -3
y-intercept = -1 ⇒ c = -1
∴ Equation is : y = mx + c
⇒ y = -3x - 1
⇒ 3x + y + 1 = 0
Hence, the equation of the line is 3x + y + 1 = 0.
(v) slope = 0 ⇒ m = 0
y-intercept = - 5 ⇒ c = - 5
∴ Equation is : y = mx + c
⇒ y = 0 x - 5
⇒ y + 5 = 0
Hence, the equation of the line is y + 5 = 0.
(vi) slope = 0 ⇒ m = 0
y-intercept = 0 ⇒ c = 0
∴ Equation is : y = mx + c
⇒ y = 0 x + 0
⇒ y = 0
Hence, the equation of the line is y = 0.
