t is a horizontal line, which value is always y=4

p is a vertical line, which value is always x=-4

t: y=4

p: x=-4

n and m are linear equations:

Slope intercept form:

y=mx+b

where

m= slope

b= t-intercept

Line M.

By looking at the graph we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at y=4

So, b=4

y=mx+4

Replace x and y by a point of the line, for example (1,2), and solve for m:

2=1m+4

2-4 = m

-2=m

M: y=-2x+4

Line n

b= -1

y=mx-1

(2,1)

1=2x-1

1+1 =2x

2=2x

2/2=x

1=x

Line n : y= x-1
