Without being able to see the image, I can help you understand how to derive the equations of lines based on their intersections and slopes.

  1. Solid Line: If the solid line goes through certain points, you can determine its equation in the form of \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept. To find the slope \(m\), pick two points on the line, say \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\), and use the formula:

    \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

    Then, use one of the points to solve for \(b\).

  2. Dotted Line: Similarly, for the dotted line, you can identify two points on that line and determine its slope using the same method as above. Once you find the slope, deteremine the y-intercept \(b\) using the point-slope form or the slope-intercept form.

If you provide details such as specific points where the lines intersect the axes or their specific slopes, I would be able to help you formulate the equations more precisely.
