The correct answer is: y = (1/12)x.
This is because the proportional relationship between inches and feet is that there are 12 inches in a foot. So, if x represents the number of feet, then there would be 12x inches. This can be written as y = 12x, where y is the number of inches.
However, the line goes through the origin (0,0) which means that when x and y are both 0, the line should also be 0. Therefore, we divide both sides by 12 to get y = (1/12)x, which represents the proportional relationship and goes through the origin.
The proportional relationship between inches and feet is displayed on the graph. Derive the equation of the line through the origin.
