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 given by: \[ y = mx + c \] where: - \( m \) is the slope of the line, - \( c \) is the y-intercept. ### (i) For the first line: 1. **Identify the slope and y-intercept**: - Slope \( m = -3 \) - y-intercept \( c = 5 \) 2. **Substitute the values into the slope-intercept form**: \[ y = mx + c \implies y = -3x + 5 \] 3. **Rearranging to standard form**: - To express it in standard form \( Ax + By + C = 0 \): \[ y + 3x - 5 = 0 \implies 3x + y - 5 = 0 \] ### (ii) For the second line: 1. **Identify the slope and y-intercept**: - Slope \( m = 8 \) - y-intercept \( c = -6 \) 2. **Substitute the values into the slope-intercept form**: \[ y = mx + c \implies y = 8x - 6 \] 3. **Rearranging to standard form**: - To express it in standard form \( Ax + By + C = 0 \): \[ y - 8x + 6 = 0 \implies -8x + y + 6 = 0 \implies 8x - y - 6 = 0 \] ### Final Equations: - For the first line: \( 3x + y - 5 = 0 \) - For the second line: \( 8x - y - 6 = 0 \)
