The equation for this problem is y = 3x, where y is the company's overall profit for this year and x is Jerome's portion of profit for this year. The company's profit for this year is $450,000 which can be acquired by multiplying Jerome's income by 3 ($450,000 = $150,000 x 3). This company is would likely a partnership because the owner gets a big portion of profit from the company.
If the equation is passing trough the origin, it will be passing trough the point (0,0). We now for our problem that the equations is also passing trough the point (-4,3). So, our line is passing trough the points (0,0) and (-4,3). To write the equation in slope-intercept form, first, we need to find its slope . To do that we are going to use the slope formula: .
From our two points we can infer that , , , . Lets replace those values in the slope formula:
Now that we have our slope, we can use the slope-intercept formula:
We can conclude that the equation of the line passing trough the points (0,0) and (-4,3) is .
