A. y = 1/5x
B. y = -5x
C. y = 3x
D. y = 15x
E. y = -1/5x
F. y = 5x

Answer 1

only A is correct

Explanation:

To get the equation of the given line, we just have to see if the point given fits into any of the equation

The given point is (15,3)

a) y = 1/5x = 1/5 * 15 = 3

This is correct

b) y = -5(-75) = -375; this is not correct

c) y = 3x

y = 3(15) = 45

This is not correct

d) y = 15x

y = 15(15) = 225

This is incorrect

e) y = -1/5x

y = -1/5 * 15 = -3

This is incorrect

f) y = 5x

y = 5(15) = 75

This is also incorrect
