Explanation:

right, M = ((xa + xb)/2, (ya + yb)/2) = (3.5, 3.5)

the line through O and M (I assume we need the slope-intercept form) is in general

y = ax + b

"a" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y-value when x = 0).

the slope is the ratio (y coordinate change / x coordinate change) when going from one point on the line to another.

so, our 2 points : (0, 0) and (3.5, 3.5).

x changes by +3.5 (from 0 to 3.5).

y changes by +3.5 (from 0 to 3.5).

so, the slope "a" is +3.5/+3.5 = 1.

the point (0, 0) gives us "b" (the y-value when x = 0) directly : 0.

so, the line equation is

y = x
