Answer 1

To match the given information with the equations for the lines, we can utilize the slope-intercept form of a line, which is given by the equation:

\[ y = mx + b \]

Where:
- \( m \) is the slope of the line.
- \( b \) is the y-intercept of the line.

Now, let's analyze each provided statement.

1. **A line that contains the point (0, -8) with a slope of 32**
- Here, the y-intercept \( b = -8 \) and the slope \( m = 32 \).
- Equation: \( y = 32x - 8 \)

2. **A line that contains the y-intercept (0, -2) and a slope of −34**
- Here, \( b = -2 \) and \( m = -34 \).
- Equation: \( y = -34x - 2 \)

3. **A line that contains the points (0, -2) and (4, 0)**
- The y-intercept \( b = -2 \). To find the slope, \( m \):
- Slope \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{0 - (-2)}{4 - 0} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \)
- Equation: \( y = \frac{1}{2}x - 2 \)

4. **A line that has a slope of 53 and a y-intercept of -4**
- Here, \( b = -4 \) and \( m = 53 \).
- Equation: \( y = 53x - 4 \)

Now we have the corresponding equations for each statement:

1. \( y = 32x - 8 \)
2. \( y = -34x - 2 \)
3. \( y = \frac{1}{2}x - 2 \)
4. \( y = 53x - 4 \)

You can match them accordingly based on the information given.
