1. Problem Description

The problem has two parts.
Part 1: Find the equation of the lines in the form y=mx+cy = mx + c for the given graphs.
Part 2: Find the x and y-intercepts and sketch the graph for the given equations: y=x+4y = x + 4 and y=2x6y = -2x - 6.

2. Solution Steps

Part 1a:
The graph passes through the points (0,3)(0, 3) and (3,0)(3, 0).
The y-intercept is c=3c = 3.
The slope mm can be calculated as:
m=y2y1x2x1=0330=33=1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{0 - 3}{3 - 0} = \frac{-3}{3} = -1
So, the equation of the line is y=x+3y = -x + 3.
Part 1b:
The graph passes through the points (0,1)(0, 1) and (1,4)(1, 4).
The y-intercept is c=1c = 1.
The slope mm can be calculated as:
m=y2y1x2x1=4110=31=3m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{4 - 1}{1 - 0} = \frac{3}{1} = 3
So, the equation of the line is y=3x+1y = 3x + 1.
Part 2a:
Given equation: y=x+4y = x + 4
To find the y-intercept, set x=0x = 0:
y=0+4=4y = 0 + 4 = 4.
So, the y-intercept is (0,4)(0, 4).
To find the x-intercept, set y=0y = 0:
0=x+40 = x + 4
x=4x = -4.
So, the x-intercept is (4,0)(-4, 0).
Part 2b:
Given equation: y=2x6y = -2x - 6
To find the y-intercept, set x=0x = 0:
y=2(0)6=6y = -2(0) - 6 = -6.
So, the y-intercept is (0,6)(0, -6).
To find the x-intercept, set y=0y = 0:
0=2x60 = -2x - 6
2x=62x = -6
x=3x = -3.
So, the x-intercept is (3,0)(-3, 0).

3. Final Answer

Part 1a: y=x+3y = -x + 3
Part 1b: y=3x+1y = 3x + 1
Part 2a: x-intercept: (4,0)(-4, 0), y-intercept: (0,4)(0, 4)
Part 2b: x-intercept: (3,0)(-3, 0), y-intercept: (0,6)(0, -6)
