in essence it's just asking on getting the equation of that line in more or less slope-intercept form, hmmm well, it's a line, so all we need is two points to get it, hmmm let's see let's use the starting point and terminal point, so we know it goes through the origin, (0,0) and also goes through (1, 0.7), let's change 0.7 to a fraction, so its 7/10, ok, let's use those two points from it.


(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{(7)/(10)}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{(7)/(10)}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{1}-\underset{x_1}{0}}}\implies \cfrac{~~ (7)/(10)~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{7}{10}


\begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{7}{10}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y = \cfrac{7}{10}x
