Answer:
y = 6x + 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line
y = mx + c
Given
( 0 , 0) ( -1/2 , -3)
find the slope m
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
x1 = 0
y1 = 0
x2 = -1/2
y2 = -3
Insert the values
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
m = -3 - 0 / -1/2 - 0
= -3/-1/2
Minus cancels minus
= 3/1/2
= 3/1 ÷ 1/2
= 3/1 × 2/1
= 6/1
= 6
m = 6
Substitute any of the two points given into the equation of a line
y = mx + c
Where
y - intercept point y
x - intercept point x
m - slope of the line
c - intercept
(-1/2 , -3)
x = -1/2
y = -3
-3 = 6(-1/2) + c
-3 = -6/2 + c
-3 = -3 + c
-3 + 3 = c
c = 0
y = 6x + 0
The equation of the line is
y = 6x + 0
