Explanation:

We need 2 things in order to write slope-intercept equations: the slope, and the y-intercept. Remember that the form is
y=mx+b, where
m is slope and
b is y-intercept. All of the lines show the y-intercept, but not the slope. We can calculate slope using two points on the line and the slope equation,
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

1. Two points: (1,-3) and (0,4)


m=(4-(-3))/(0-1)=(7)/(-1)=-7

So the equation would be:
y=-7x+4

2. Points: (-1,-2) and (0,1)


m=(1-(-2))/(0-(-1))=(3)/(1)=3

Equation:
y=3x+1

3. Points: (0,5) and (-2,4)


m=(4-5)/(-2-0)=(-1)/(-2) =(1)/(2)

Equation:
y=(1)/(2)x+5

4. Points: (0,-2) and (-4,1)


m=(1-(-2))/(-4-0)=(3)/(-4)=-(3)/(4)

Equation:
y=-(3)/(4)x-2

Hope this helps!
