What is the slope of the line through the two given points?
+m+=+%286-0%29%2F%280+-+%28-4%29%29+ = 3%2F2
What can you say about the slopes of lines that are parallel?
Parallel lines have the same slope.
What is the equation of a line with slope 3/2 passing through the origin?
y-intercept is 0, so the equation is
+y+=+3x%2F2+%2B+0+
+y+=+3x%2F2
