question 5 of 10

what is the equation of the following line? be sure to scroll down first to see all answer options.

a. (y = 2x)
b. (y = \frac{1}{3}x)
c. (y = 6x)
d. (y = 3x)
e. (y = -\frac{1}{3}x)
f. (y = -3x)

Explanation:

Calculate the slope of the line

$$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 0}{6 - 0} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} $$

Determine the equation of the line
