Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane ranges from negative 9 to 9 in unit increments on the x-axis and from 11 to negative 11 in unit increments on the y-axis. A line with arrows at both the ends joins two plotted points and extends beyond. The coordinates of the plotted points are: left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 5 comma 1 right parenthesis.

Is this the correct graph of the equation y=15x
?

To determine if the graph accurately represents the equation \( y = 15x \), we need to analyze the slope and the points provided.

The two points given are \( (0, 0) \) and \( (5, 1) \).

1. **Check the point (0, 0)**: This point satisfies the equation \( y = 15x \) because when \( x = 0 \), \( y \) also equals \( 0 \).

2. **Find the slope between the points (0, 0) and (5, 1)**:
- The slope \( m \) is calculated as \( m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \).
- From \( (0, 0) \) to \( (5, 1) \):
- The rise = \( 1 - 0 = 1 \)
- The run = \( 5 - 0 = 5 \)
- Thus, \( m = \frac{1}{5} \).

3. **Compare with the slope of the given equation**:
- The slope of \( y = 15x \) is \( 15 \), significantly different from \( \frac{1}{5} \).

Given that the slope calculated from the points does not match the slope of the equation \( y = 15x \), we conclude that this is not the correct graph for that equation.

Therefore, the appropriate response is:

**No, it is not the correct graph because the slope \( m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{1}{5} \).**
