Question 802861: Find the slope of the line which contains (2/3,-4)and passes through the origin? Please show me the steps to solving this. Thank you

As the line passes thro' the origin
this gives you another set of coordinates,
(0,0)
Using the gradient (slope) equation:
y2 - y1/x2 - x1
-4 - 0/2/3 - 0
-4/2/3
Slope = -6
Using y = mx + c
-4 = -6(2/3) + c
-4 = -4 + c
c = 0
Equation = y = -6x
Hope this helps.
