Find an equation of the line that passes through the origin and is parallel to the graph of the function below. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
Y= -15/2x -7
**
Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
Lines parallel to each other have the same slope.
Lines which go thru the origin will have a y-intercept=0
Equation, therefore, is just y=(-15/2)x
