To determine if the line joining the points (0, 0) and (5, 1) represents the equation \( y = 15x \), we first need to find the slope of the line formed by these two points.
The slope \( m \) is calculated as: \[ m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] where \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 0)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (5, 1)\).
Plugging in the values: \[ m = \frac{1 - 0}{5 - 0} = \frac{1}{5} \]
Now, let's analyze the equation \( y = 15x \). This equation has a slope of 15, which is significantly different from the slope we calculated (\(\frac{1}{5}\)).
Given these findings, the correct answer is: No, it is not the correct graph because the slope \( m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{1}{5} \) ≠ 15.
