Answer 1

Answer:

$y=6x$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the ordered pairs

(0,0) and (-1/2,-3)

In this problem we have a proportional relationship, because the line passes through the origin

A proportional variation can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

For x=-1/2, y=-3

$k=\frac{y}{x}$ ----> $k=\frac{-3}{(-1/2)}=6$

therefore

The linear equation is equal to

$y=kx$

substitute the value of k

$y=6x$
