Answer:


1.\ y = 2x - 1


2.\ y = -4x + 5

Explanation:

Solving (1): The line equation in y intercept form;

Given


m = 2


(x_1,y_1) = (4,7)

This is calculated using the following formula


y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Substitute values for m, x1 and y1


y - 7 = 2(x - 4)

Open Bracket


y - 7 = 2x - 8

Make y the subject


y = 2x - 8 + 7


y = 2x - 1

Solving (2): The line equation in y intercept form;

Given


m = -4


(x_1,y_1) = (-1,9)

This is calculated using the following formula


y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Substitute values for m, x1 and y1


y - 9 = -4(x - (-1))


y - 9 = -4(x + 1)

Open Bracket


y - 9 = -4x - 4

Make y the subject


y = -4x - 4 + 9


y = -4x + 5
