Question

Write an equation of the linear function so that the eye of the panther (1.5, 3) passes through the origin.

Answer 1

Case: Linear equations

Method:

If it passes through the origin (0,0). Then (1.5,3)

The line equation is given as:

y = mx + c

0 = m (0) + c

c = 0

hence

y = mx + c

y = mx + 0

y = mx

Using (1.5, 3)

3 = 1.5m

m = 3/1.5

m = 2

The equation is:

y = 2x

Final answer:

y = 2x
