Equations of the solid lines are

Equation of line OA is y = -1/4x

Equation of line OD is y = -3/2x

Equation of line OC is y = 3/2x

Equation of line OB is y = 1/4x

How to derive equation of line

The solid lines are the thick unbroken lines.

Equation of line is give by

y = mx + b

where

m is slope

b is y-intercept

Line OA passes through point (-4,1) and origin (0,0).

slope = 0 - 1/0 - (-4)

m = -1/4

y-intercept = 0(since it pass through the origin)

Equation of line OA is y = -1/4x

For line OD, it passes through (-6,9) and (0,0)

slope = 0-9/0-(-6)

m = -9/6

m = -3/2

y-intercept = 0

Equation of line OD is y = -3/2x

For line OC, it passes through points (6,9) and (0,0)

slope = 9-0/6-0

m = 9/6

m = 3/2

y-intercept = 0

Equation of line OC is y = 3/2x

For line OB, it passes through points (4,1) and (0,0)

slope = 1-0/4-0

m = 1/4

y-intercept = 0

Equation of line OB is y = 1/4x
