Answer:
The equation for line a:
y = x
The equation for line b:
y = -2
Explanation:
A:
This line is proportional. I know because it is a straight line going through the origin (0,0). I only need to find the slope. In a proportional relationship, the slope is any point on the line put in the form
. You could use the point on the line (1,1) or (2,2) or (3,3) or any other point on the line. If I put this in the form
, I will always get
which simplifies to 1.
y = mx The slope is 1
y = 1x which is the same as y = x
B:
No matter what x is, y will be -2
y = -2
