The features of line A include the following:

gradient = 2.

x-intercept = (1, 0)

y-intercept = (0, -2)

The features of line B include the following:

gradient = -4

x-intercept = (-1, 0)

y-intercept = (0, -4)

The features of the line y - 6x = 54 include the following:

x-intercept = (-9, 0)

y-intercept = (0, 54)

In Mathematics and Geometry, the gradient of any straight line can be determined by using the following mathematical equation;

Gradient (m) = (Change in y-axis, Δy)/(Change in x-axis, Δx)

Gradient (m) of line A = (2 - 0)/(2 - 1)

Gradient (m) of line A = 2.

The intercept of a graph is the point where the graph of a line crosses either the x-axis or the y-axis on a coordinate plane. Based on the graph of line A, the intercepts are as follows;

x-intercept = (1, 0)

y-intercept = (0, -2)

Gradient (m) of line B = (-4 - 0)/(0 + 1)

Gradient (m) of line B = -4.

x-intercept = (-1, 0)

y-intercept = (0, -4)

For the line y - 6x = 54, the features are as follows;

When x is 0, the y-intercept is given by;

y = 6x + 54

y = 6(0) + 54

y-intercept = (0, 54)

When y is 0, the x-intercept is given by;

0 = 6x + 54

6x = -54

x = -54/6

x-intercept = (-9, 0).

Missing information:

The question is incomplete and the missing graph is shown in the attached picture.
