Asked by alex

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, 0) and (8, 6). A triangle has a rise of 3 and run of 4. A larger triangle has a rise of y and run of x.
Use the similar triangles on the coordinate plane to determine the equation for the given line.
y = three-fourths x
y = four-thirds x
y = 4x + 3
y = 3x + 4

Slope = rise/run = 6/8 = 3/4. By similar triangles y/x = 3/4, so y = (3/4)x.
