Question
The image contains two graphs labeled as part (a) and part (b).

### Part (a)
- **Graph Description:** A Cartesian coordinate system is displayed with both the x-axis and y-axis ranging from -6 to 6.
- **Line Characteristics:** 
  - A line with an arrowhead extends diagonally across the graph, indicating a sloped trajectory.
  - The line intersects the y-axis at (0, 2) and the x-axis at (-2, 0).
- **Direction:** The arrow on the line points downwards towards the bottom right, showing a negative slope.

### Part (b)
- **Graph Description:** Another Cartesian coordinate system is shown, again with axes ranging from -6 to 6.
- **Line Characteristics:**
  - An upward vertical arrow is drawn on the y-axis, indicating a positive direction parallel to the y-axis.
  - This line does not cross the x-axis, indicating it's a vertical line through the origin.

These graphs illustrate basic linear concepts, with part (a) depicting a line with a negative slope and part (b) showing a vertical line without any slope.

### Exercises

**540.** Find the slope of the line between the points \((5, 2)\) and \((-1, -4)\).

**541.** Graph the line with slope \(\frac{1}{2}\) containing the point \((-3, -4)\).

**542.** Find the intercepts of the equation \(4x + 2y = -8\) and graph.

--- 

**Graph the line for each of the following equations:**

**543.** \(y = \frac{5}{3}x - 1\)

**544.** \(y = -x\)

### Explanation of Graph

The visible part of the graph in the image is a standard coordinate plane with the x-axis and y-axis both ranging from -6 to 3. There are downward arrows at both the top and bottom of the y-axis, indicating extension.

Expert Solution
Step 1

slope of the line passing through the points a,b  and c,d is given by m=d-bc-aAnd equation of line passing through these two point isy-b=mx-a

As per Bertleby guideline I have to solve only first question. So for answer to other question resubmit the question.
