Question

Using what you know about slope of a line, construct 3 different equations that have the following properties: 1. A slope-intercept form equation with a negative slope and a y intercept of 0 2. A vertical line 3. A horizontal line

Answer 1

Assuming that each equation only has one property. 1. Would be any line with a negative number as the slope Example: y = -2x, and no slope intercept would be attached because it is asking for a zero. Now if they are asking for an actual 0 attached (this doesn't need to be added unless asked) just add + 0 to the end which would be y = -2x +0. 2. Would be a line without a slope but rather an intercept. Example: y = 3. Now 3. Would be any equations with the x equivalent to a number. Example: x = 2

Therefore, the answers would be: 1. y = -2x + 0 (or any other negative number as the slope). 2. y=3 or any other integer. 3. x=2 or any other integer.
