Question 789231: Find a linear equation whose graph is the straight line with the given properties.
Through (0, 0) and (p, q) Answer by harpazo(655) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let m = the slope
You did not provide the quantities.
m = (q-0)/(p-0)
m = q/p
Use point slope formula to find your equation.
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y - 0 = (q/p)(x-0)
y = (q/p)(x)
y = qx/p
