Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
7. ✍️First Equation:
To generate the equation of the gray, which will be in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, we need to find the slope of the graph, m, and the y-intercept, b.
Using two points on the line, (2, 4) and (4, 0),
![slope (m) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = (0 - 4)/(4 - 2) = (-4)/(2) = -2](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/4v41xnk2sw2w1vv7vhsc7jc3t7qnqn5y7s.png)
Substitute x = 2, y = 4 and m = -2 into y = mx + b, to find the value of b.
thus:
4 = (-2)(2) + b
4 = -4 + b
Add 4 to both sides
4 + 4 = b
b = 8
Substitute m = -2 and b = 8 into y = mx + b.
The first equation would be:
✅ y = -2x + 8
✍️Second Equation:
Using two points on the line, (1, 6) and (5, -2),
![slope (m) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = (-2 - 6)/(5 - 1) = (-6)/(4) = -(3)/(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/cirs8w41j9rfjcp5de5mqk0u74kj4a29xt.png)
Substitute x = 1, y = 6 and m = -³/2 into y = mx + b, to find the value of b.
thus:
6 = (-³/2)(1) + b
6 = -³/2 + b
Add ³/2 to both sides
6 + ³/2 = b
(12 + 3)/2 = b
15/2 = b
Substitute m = -³/2 and b = 15/2 into y = mx + b.
The second equation would be:
✅
![y = -(3)/(2)x + (15)/(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/8943xbmdgfmgpi3omrhp3c5h0u5wtpz9sg.png)
