Find the equation of a line which is form origin and passes through the point (−3, −4)

A.

y = 3x4

B.

y = 4x3

C.

y = 2x3

D.

y = x2

Correct answer is B

The slope of the line from (0, 0) passing through (-3, -4) = 4030

= 43

Equation of a line is given as y=mx+b, where m = slope and b = intercept.

To get the value of b, we use a point on the line, say (0, 0).

y=43x+b

0=43(0)+b

b=0

The equation of the line is y=43x
