Question 779622: Find an equation of the line that satisfies the given condition. (Let x be the independent variable and y be the dependent variable.)
The line passing through the origin and parallel to the line passing through the points
(4, 5) and (6, 6)
This has got me stumped help please =/
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the fact that slope = ( change in y ) / ( change in x )
given the points (4,5) and (6,6),
slope =
slope =
--------------------
The general form of a straight line is:

where = slope and
= y intercept
So far I have,

I also know the line goes through (0,0)
so, I can say:

The line is
