Question

Write the equations of the lines if 'm' and 'c' are given as follows.
(i) m = 5, c = -1
(ii) m = -4, c = -3
(iii) m = -2, c = 3
(iv) m = 4, c = 0
(v) m = 0, c = 2
(vi) m = 0, c = -3

Solution

(i) Here, slope of the line, m = 5 and y-intercept, c = -1
We know that slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + c.
∴ y = 5x - 1 is the required equation.

(ii) Here, slope of the line, m = -4 and y-intercept, c = -3
We know that slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + c.
∴ y = -4x - 3 is the required equation.

(iii) Here, slope of the line, m = -2 and y-intercept, c = 3
We know that slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + c.
∴ y = -2x + 3 is the required equation.

(iv) Here, slope of the line, m = 4 and y-intercept, c = 0
We know that slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + c.
∴ y = 4x + 0 or y = 4x is the required equation.

(v) Here, slope of the line, m = 0 and y-intercept, c = 2
We know that slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + c.
∴ y = 0x + 2 or y = 2 is the required equation.

(vi) Here, slope of the line, m = 0 and y-intercept, c = -3
We know that slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + c.
∴ y = 0x - 3 or y = -3 is the required equation.
