Explanation:

answers to what questions ?

do you mean you need the equations of the lines in the charts ?

if that's the case :

I am always looking for points on the coordinate grid that seem to have whole numbers as x and y coordinates.

I am using the slope-intercept form

y = ax + b

with "a" being the slope (the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change").

b being the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).

2.

I see (0, 3) and (3, 4). and then (6, 5) and (9, 6).

x changes by +3 (from e.g. 0 to 3).

y changes by +1 (from e.g. 3 to 4).

so, the slope is +1/+3 = 1/3

the first point gives us the y-intercept directly : 3.

the line is :

y = x/3 + 3

3.

on the graphic there seems to be no precise whole number coordinate.

the closest I could find are (0, 9) and (8, 4).

then x changes by +8 (from 0 to 8).

y changes by -5 (from 9 to 4).

the slope is then : -5/8

the first point gives us the y-intersect again : 9.

the line is :

y = -5x/8 + 9

4.

it seems we have (0, 0) and (4, 3).

x changes by +4 (from 0 to 4).

y changes by +3 (from 0 to 3).

the slope is +3/+4 = 3/4.

the first point gives us the y-intercept directly : 0.

the line is :

y = 3x/4

5.

it seems we have (0, 6) and (2, 5).

x changes by +2 (from 0 to 2).

y changes by -1 (from 6 to 5).

the slope is -1/+2 = -1/2.

the first point gives us the y-intercept directly : 6.

the line is :

y = -x/2 + 6

6.

it seems we have (0, 5) and (5, 7).

x changes by +5 (from 0 to 5).

y changes by +2 (from 5 to 7).

the slope is +7/+5 = 7/5.

the first point gives us the y-intercept directly : 5.

the line is :

y = 7x/5 + 5

7.

it seems we have (0, 9) and (1, 7).

x changes by +1 (from 0 to 1).

y changes by -2 (from 9 to 7).

the slope is -2/+1 = -2

the first point gives us the y-intercept directly : 9.

the line is :

y = -2x + 9
