Solution

(i) with slope 2 and y-intercept 3m = 2, point is (0, 3)The required equation of line isy=mx+c y=2x+3(ii) Slope=13,y intercept=(0, 4)m=13, c=4The required equation of line isy=mx+c y=13x4 3y+x=12x+3y+12=0(ii) m=2, c=3The required equation of line isyy1=m(xx1)Since the line cuts the x-axis at (-3, 0) with slope -2, we have,y0=2(x+3) y=2x6 2x+y+6=0
