Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form for a line that passes through the origin with a slope of 3/2

Answer 1

Answer: y = (3/2)x

m = 3/2 is the slope

(x1,y1) = (0,0) is the point we want the line to go through, aka the origin

Use point slope form, plug in the given values, and convert to slope intercept form

y - y1 = m(x - x1) .... point slope form

y - 0 = (3/2)*(x - 0) .... substitution

y = (3/2)x .... final answer in slope intercept form
