Answer:

The equation of the line is:

C.
y=(-3)/(4)x

Explanation:

The line passes through the point (0,0) and (4,-3).

By using the two point formula to find the equation of the line.

i.e. any line passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is calculated by using the formula:


y-b=(d-b)/(c-a)* (x-a)

Here (a,b)=(0,0) and (c,d)=(4,-3)

Hence, the equation of line is calculated as follows:


y-0=(-3-0)/(4-0)* (x-0)\\\\i.e.\\\\y=(-3)/(4)* x\\\\i.e.\\\\y=(-3)/(4)x

Hence, the correct answer is: Option: C
