Question

Given a line passes through point (5,7) and the origin, find the equation of the line.
y=

Answer 1

Answer: y=7/5x

Step-by-step explanation: use the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to find the slope. The coordinates are (5,7) and (0,0). (0-7)/(0-5) is 7/5. Slope = 7/5 and since the line passes through the origin the b is 0.
