Question 768529: (write a equation for each condition listed)

1.the line with the slope of -8 and a y-intercept of 3 (in slope-intercept form)
2.the line that passes through (-2,0)and has a slope of 5 (in point-slope form)
3.the horizontal line that passes through (-2,6)
4.the vertical line that passes through (-2,6)

If you guys at algebra.com can help me solve these problems it would be highly appreciated it?
thanks Troy

1.the line with the slope of -8 and a y-intercept of 3 (in slope-intercept form)
2.the line that passes through (-2,0)and has a slope of 5 (in point-slope form)
3.the horizontal line that passes through (-2,6)
4.the vertical line that passes through (-2,6)
Ans:
1)
Equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept c is given by y = m*x + c
Here slope = -8, y-intercept = 3
So eqn is or
2)
Eqn of a line that passes through x1,y1 and has slope m is given by

Here, (x1,y1) = (-2,0) and slope = 5

or is the equation
3)
Horizontal line has the equation of the form y =
Since it passes through (-2,6), one value of y, which is the constant value,
has to be 6.
So, the equation is
4)
Vertical line has the equation of the form x =
Since it passes through (-2,6), one value of x, which is the constant value,
has to be -2.
So, the equation is or
Hope you got it :)
