The correct Answer is:
To find the equations of the lines based on the given slopes and y-intercepts, we will use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, which is: \[ y = mx + c \] where \( m \) is the slope and \( c \) is the y-intercept. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **(i)** For the first line: - Given: Slope \( m = 3 \) and y-intercept \( c = 5 \). - Substitute \( m \) and \( c \) into the slope-intercept form: \[ y = 3x + 5 \] **(ii)** For the second line: - Given: Slope \( m = -1 \) and y-intercept \( c = 4 \). - Substitute \( m \) and \( c \) into the slope-intercept form: \[ y = -1x + 4 \quad \text{or} \quad y = -x + 4 \] - We can rearrange this to standard form: \[ x + y = 4 \] **(iii)** For the third line: - Given: Slope \( m = -\frac{2}{5} \) and y-intercept \( c = -3 \). - Substitute \( m \) and \( c \) into the slope-intercept form: \[ y = -\frac{2}{5}x - 3 \] - To convert this to standard form, we can multiply through by 5 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 5y = -2x - 15 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ 2x + 5y + 15 = 0 \] ### Summary of Equations: 1. For slope = 3 and y-intercept = 5: \[ y = 3x + 5 \] 2. For slope = -1 and y-intercept = 4: \[ x + y = 4 \] 3. For slope = -\(\frac{2}{5}\) and y-intercept = -3: \[ 2x + 5y + 15 = 0 \]
