Answer 1

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ( m is the slope )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂. y₂ ) = (8, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{2-0}{8-0}$ = $\frac{2}{8}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$

y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x → E
