Answer:
y = (1/15)x (+ 0) [The y-intercept is 0]: y = (1/15)x
Explanation:
The standard slope/intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
We are given a slope of (1/15) so we can write:
y = (1/15)x + b
The given point (0,0) just so happens to have the information for b, the y-intercept. b id the value of y when x=0. Point (0,0) tells us that the value of y when x=0 is 0 (aor at least will be when we develop the equation. So b = 0, and we progress to:
y= (1/15)x + 0
This is the equation in slope-intercept form.
