Question

Find the equation of a line that has a slope of 1/2 and passes through the origin.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b is y = m x + b.  

This line goes through the point ( 0 ,0 ), so the y-intercept is zero.

We are given the slope as − 2 / 3.

The equation of the line is y= – 2 / 3 x + 0 = – 2 / 3 x

y = – 2 / 3 x
