Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the equation of the line that passes through the origin and has a slope of -3? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that the equation of a line can be written in the form y = mx, where m is the slope.
  • Step 2: Identify that the slope given in the question is -3.
  • Step 3: Substitute the slope (-3) into the equation y = mx. This gives us y = -3x.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the equation of the line that passes through the origin with a slope of -3 is y = -3x.
