m: y=-2x+4
slope: 2
2/1=2
Its negative because the line is going down from left to right
y-intercept:
it crosses the y axis at (0,4)
n: y=x-1
slope: 1
1/1=1
Its positive because the line is going up from left to right
y-intercept:
it crosses the y axis at (0,-1)
l: y=4
slope: 0
A vertical line's slope is always 0
y-intercept:
it crosses the y axis at (0,4)
p: x=-4
To find the equation for a horizontal line, you need to find what x always is no matter what.
