Let's match each description with the corresponding equation of the line using the slope-intercept form, which is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

  1. A line that contains the y-intercept (0, -2) and a slope of −3/4:

    • Here, the slope \( m = -\frac{3}{4} \) and the y-intercept \( b = -2 \).
    • Equation: \( y = -\frac{3}{4}x - 2 \).
  2. A line that contains the points (0, -2) and (4, 0):

    • The y-intercept is \( b = -2 \) (from the point (0, -2)).
    • To find the slope \( m \):
      \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{0 - (-2)}{4 - 0} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}. \]
    • Equation: \( y = \frac{1}{2}x - 2 \).
  3. A line that has a slope of 5/3 and a y-intercept of -4:

    • Here, the slope \( m = \frac{5}{3} \) and the y-intercept \( b = -4 \).
    • Equation: \( y = \frac{5}{3}x - 4 \).
  4. A line that contains the point (0, -8) with a slope of 3/2:

    • The y-intercept is \( b = -8 \) (from the point (0, -8)).
    • The slope \( m = \frac{3}{2} \).
    • Equation: \( y = \frac{3}{2}x - 8 \).

Summary of Equations:

  1. \( y = -\frac{3}{4}x - 2 \)
  2. \( y = \frac{1}{2}x - 2 \)
  3. \( y = \frac{5}{3}x - 4 \)
  4. \( y = \frac{3}{2}x - 8 \)
those are not answers i see its these

A. 2y- x = -4

B. y = 2/3x - 8

C. -5x + 3y = -12

D y= -3/4x -2

Thank you for providing the options for the equations. Let's match each description you provided earlier with the given equations A, B, C, and D.

  1. A line that contains the y-intercept (0, -2) and a slope of −3/4:

    • This matches option D: \( y = -\frac{3}{4}x - 2 \).
  2. A line that contains the points (0, -2) and (4, 0):

    • We found the slope to be \( \frac{1}{2} \) and the y-intercept to be \( -2 \), which corresponds to:
      \[ y = \frac{1}{2}x - 2 \quad \text{(not in the options, but matches D's form with different parameters)}. \]
    • So, none of the provided options match this description.
  3. A line that has a slope of 5/3 and a y-intercept of -4:

    • Not directly visible in the options, but in slope-intercept form would look like \( y = \frac{5}{3}x - 4 \) (does not match any options).
  4. A line that contains the point (0, -8) with a slope of 3/2:

    • This line in slope-intercept form would be \( y = \frac{3}{2}x - 8 \). This corresponds to option B: \( y = \frac{2}{3}x - 8 \) but was provided as 3/2 in the description.

Final Matches:

  • A line that contains the y-intercept (0, -2) and a slope of −3/4: D. \( y = -\frac{3}{4}x - 2 \)
  • A line that contains the points (0, -2) and (4, 0): None matches the options directly
  • A line that has a slope of 5/3 and a y-intercept of -4: None matches the options directly
  • A line that contains the point (0, -8) with a slope of 3/2: B (not an exact match; slope should indicate as 3/2) but based on your answers.

Thus, the only clear match is option D for the first description.
