write the equation of the line y = MX through the origins that describe the proportional relationship shown in the graph (3,1) (6,2) (9,3)

1 answer

First, we need to find the slope (M) of the line using the given points.
The slope formula is: M = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Using the points (3,1) and (6,2):
M = (2 - 1) / (6 - 3) = 1 / 3

Now that we have the slope, we can write the equation of the line as:
y = (1/3)x
