The line passing through the origin and parallel to the line passing through the points (-5, -6) and (1, -2)
:
Find the slope of the line that passes thru these points (parallel lines have the same slope)
m = = + =
:
Use the point/intercept form, y = mx + b: line passes thru origin so b = 0
y = x + 0
or just
y =x
