Question

What is the equation of the line

Answer 1

Hello there!


The answer is B. $\frac{2}{7}$
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation and Work:



We first must identify if the line goes through the origin or not. 

The origin is (0, 0) 

The line does go through the origin. This means that there is no y-intercept

The specific equation we would you use would be:

y = kx

K is the constant

We find this by finding the slope.

Slope is found by:

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$ 

y2 = 2

y1 = 0

x2 = 7

x1 = 0

Now, let's plug in these numbers.

$\frac{2-0}{7-0} = \frac{2}{7}$

So, now let's plug he slope into our formula.

y = $\frac{2}{7} x$

So, our answer would be B.


I hope I helped!
