To derive the equation of the line through the origin, we need to find the slope of the line.
From the graph, we can see that for every 12 inches (1 foot), the value on the y-axis increases by 1. This means that the slope of the line is 1/12.
Therefore, the equation of the line through the origin (0,0) is:
y = (1/12)x
This is the equation that represents the proportional relationship between inches and feet.
The proportional relationship between inches and feet is displayed on the graph. Derive the equation of the line through the origin.
