These all have a slope less than one.
These all go through the origin.
These all have a y-intercept of zero.
They are all straight lines.

The equations are lines in slope intercept form, that is
y = mx + b where m is slope and b is the y intercept
all the equations have a y intercept of 0, furthermore they all go through the origin (0,0)
