Slope=3/8 passing through the origin

Question

Write an equation for the line point-slope form

Answer 1

Well, this should be simpler than they are making it.

 

Point slope form is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁). Since our given point is (0,0), we have...

 

y - 0 = (3/8)(x - 0)

y = (3/8)x

 

That's it. In math, our final answer doesn't include things like + 0 or - 0, because that would be like calling you Dru'Londa + 0, though that might be a cool nickname.

Answer 2

y = 3x/8 + 0
