Answer:

3)
\sf y = -2x + 4

4)
\sf y = (4)/(3)x - 4

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by
\sf y = mx + b, where
\sf m is the slope and
\sf b is the y-intercept.

3)

Let's take two points (2,0) and (0,4) from the line from the graph.

For the points (2, 0) and (0, 4):

First, calculate the slope (
\sf m) using the formula:


\sf  m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)


\sf  m = (0 - 4)/(2 - 0)


\sf  m = (-4)/(2)


\sf  m = -2

Now that we have the slope, choose one of the points (let's use (2, 0)) and substitute the values into the equation:


\sf  y = mx + b


\sf  0 = -2 * 2 + b


\sf  0 = -4 + b


\sf  b = 4

Now, substitute the value of m and b in slope intercept form.


\sf y = -2x + 4

Therefore, the equation of the line is
\sf y = -2x + 4.

4)

Let's take two points (3,0) and (0,-4) from the line from the graph.

For the points (3, 0) and (0, -4):

Calculate the slope (
\sf m):


\sf  m = (0 - (-4))/(3 - 0)


\sf  m = (4)/(3)

Now, choose one of the points (let's use (3, 0)) and substitute the values into the equation:


\sf  y = mx + b


\sf  0 = (4)/(3) * 3 + b


\sf  0 = 4 + b


\sf  b = -4

Now, substitute the value of m and b in slope intercept form.


\sf y = (4)/(3)x - 4

Therefore, the equation of the line is
\sf y = (4)/(3)x - 4.
