Answer:

y = 2/3x​

Explanation:

[] Since the line goes through the origin (0, 0) the line will have no b. This does not rule out any of the options as they all have no b.

[] When we have clear points on a line, we can find the slope by using "rise-over-run." Here is an example using your problem;

-> The slope of the line will be positive because it is going from the bottom left to the top right.

We will start at (0, 0). We count up two units to (0, 2) and to the right three units too our next point, (3, 2). This leaves us with a slope of 2/3.

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.
