The correct Answer is:
To find the equations of the lines based on the given slopes and y-intercepts, we can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, which is: \[ y = mx + c \] where: - \( m \) is the slope, - \( c \) is the y-intercept. Now, let's solve each part step by step. ### (i) Slope = -1 and Y-intercept = 3 1. **Identify the slope and y-intercept:** - Slope \( m = -1 \) - Y-intercept \( c = 3 \) 2. **Substitute the values into the equation:** \[ y = mx + c \implies y = -1x + 3 \] 3. **Rearranging the equation:** \[ y + x = 3 \implies x + y = 3 \] **Final Equation for (i):** \[ x + y = 3 \] ### (ii) Slope = \( \frac{2}{5} \) and Y-intercept = -2 1. **Identify the slope and y-intercept:** - Slope \( m = \frac{2}{5} \) - Y-intercept \( c = -2 \) 2. **Substitute the values into the equation:** \[ y = mx + c \implies y = \frac{2}{5}x - 2 \] 3. **Multiply through by 5 to eliminate the fraction:** \[ 5y = 2x - 10 \] 4. **Rearranging the equation:** \[ 2x - 5y = 10 \] **Final Equation for (ii):** \[ 2x - 5y = 10 \] ### (iii) Slope = \( \frac{1}{3} \) and Y-intercept = \( \frac{2}{3} \) 1. **Identify the slope and y-intercept:** - Slope \( m = \frac{1}{3} \) - Y-intercept \( c = \frac{2}{3} \) 2. **Substitute the values into the equation:** \[ y = mx + c \implies y = \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{2}{3} \] 3. **Multiply through by 3 to eliminate the fraction:** \[ 3y = x + 2 \] 4. **Rearranging the equation:** \[ x - 3y = -2 \] **Final Equation for (iii):** \[ x - 3y = -2 \] ### Summary of the Equations: 1. \( x + y = 3 \) 2. \( 2x - 5y = 10 \) 3. \( x - 3y = -2 \)
