For the point 13. we have that the line passes through the points (-1,-2) and (0,1) then the slope is


m=(-2-1)/(-1-0)=(-3)/(-1)=3

and the line equation will be:


y-1=3x\Rightarrow y=3x+1

For the point 14: we have that the line passes through the points (-1,0) and (0,-1) then the sslope is:


m=(-1-0)/(0-(-1))=(-1)/(1)=-1

and the line equation will be:


y=-1(x-(-1))\Rightarrow y=-x-1

For the point 15: the line equation is y=-3 because the y coordinate will be always the same (-3) and the slope of the line will be equal to zero
