Answer:

y = 3x -1

Explanation:

When the given points are dilated by a factor of 1/5 about the origin, each of the coordinate values is multiplied by 1/5. The points after dilation are ...

... (2/5, 1/5), (-1/5, -8/5)

The line through these points can be found starting with a 2-point form of the equation for the line.

... y -y1 = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)ยท(x -x1)

Filling in the point values gives ...

... y -1/5 = (-8/5 -1/5)/(-1/5 -2/5)(x -2/5)

... y = (-9/5)/(-3/5)(x -2/5) +1/5 . . . . simplify parentheses, add 1/5

... y = 3x -1 . . . . . simplify

_____

The graph shows the original points and the line through them in red, and the dilated points and line in green.
