Given


\begin{gathered} points \\ (0,0)\text{ and }(15,3) \end{gathered}SolutionStep 1Find slope
Slope\text{ \lparen M\rparen=}(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)
\begin{gathered} x_1=0 \\ y_1=0 \\ x_2=15 \\ y_2=3 \end{gathered}

Substitute the given points into the slope formula


Slope(m)=(3-0)/(15-0)=(3)/(15)=(1)/(5)step 2Equation of a line
\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ m=(1)/(5) \\ x=0 \\ y=0 \\ \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 0=0((1)/(3))+b \\ b=0 \end{gathered}Step 3
y=(1)/(5)xThe final answerOption B
