Answer:

The equation of the line is;

y = 4x

Explanation:

The general equation form of a straight line is;

y = mx + b

m

is the slope and b is the y-intercept

The graph passes through the origin and that means the y -intercept is 0

To get the value of the slope, we select any point on the graph and substitute its coordinates

Let’s select point (1,4)

Substitute this;

4 = m(1) + 0

m = 4

Thus, the equation of the line is;

y = 4x
