Hey :))

(-p,-q)(p,q)slope = (q - (-q) / (p - (-p) = (q + q) / (p + p) = 2q / 2p = q/p
y = mx + b.....slope(m) = q/p(p,q)...x = p and y = qnow we sub and find b, the y intq = (q/p)(p) + bq = q + bq - q = b0 = b
so ur equation is : y = (q/p)x + 0...or just y = (q/p)x....its answer B
HOPE THIS HELPED!!! :))
