Line B and C is your answer

Newman · Answer 2

Let m be the slope and b the y-intercept:

m = (y-y) / (x-x) and y=mx+b

Line A

y=4x-3.2

Line B

(3,0) and (0,6)

m = 6/-3 = - 2

y = - 2x+b

0=-2 (3) + b

b=6

y = - 2x+6

Line C

(1.5,0) and (0,-6)

m=-6/-1.5=4

y=4x+b

0=4 (1.5) + b

b = - 6

y=4x-6

Line D

(-3,0) and (0,3)

m=3/3=1

y=x+b

0=-3+b

b=3

y=x+3
