Answer 1

E

Explanation:

The equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ( m is the slope )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂. y₂ ) = (8, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(2-0)/(8-0)` =
`(2)/(8)` =
`(1)/(4)`

y =
`(1)/(4)` x → E

Answer 2

y=1/4x
