1. **Problem Statement:** Sketch the lines given by the equations:
a) $y = -3$
b) $x = -2$
c) $x = 2$
d) $y = 5$
e) $y = -2x$
f) $y = 3x$
2. **Understanding the lines:**
- Lines of the form $y = c$ are horizontal lines crossing the y-axis at $c$.
- Lines of the form $x = c$ are vertical lines crossing the x-axis at $c$.
- Lines of the form $y = mx$ pass through the origin with slope $m$.
3. **Sketching each line:**
- a) $y = -3$: Horizontal line crossing y-axis at -3.
- b) $x = -2$: Vertical line crossing x-axis at -2.
- c) $x = 2$: Vertical line crossing x-axis at 2.
- d) $y = 5$: Horizontal line crossing y-axis at 5.
- e) $y = -2x$: Line through origin with slope -2 (downward slope).
- f) $y = 3x$: Line through origin with slope 3 (steeper upward slope).
4. **Summary:**
- Horizontal lines: a) and d)
- Vertical lines: b) and c)
- Sloped lines: e) and f)
This completes the sketching instructions for the given lines.
