to get the equation of a line, we simply need two points, say for the Red one ... notice in the graph the lines passes through (0,2) and (-1,6), so let's use those



\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{6-2}{-1-0}\implies \cfrac{4}{-1}\implies -4 \\\\\\ \begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-2=-4(x-0) \\\\\\ y-2=-4x\implies \blacktriangleright y=-4x+2 \blacktriangleleft


now, for the Blue one, say let's use hmmm it passes through (0,2) and (1.6)



\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{6-2}{1-0}\implies \cfrac{4}{1}\implies 4 \\\\\\ \begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-2=4(x-0) \\\\\\ y-2=4x\implies \blacktriangleright y=4x+2 \blacktriangleleft
