which is in an equation of the line through (0,0) and (-8,-5)?

To finde the equation of the line troughh the points (0;0) and (-8;-5) first you must find the slope of the line. You have to use the next formula:
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]Replacing the points in the previous formula
[tex]m=\frac{-5-0}{-8-0}=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]As the line passes trough the origin of coordinates (point (0;0)) the equation is:
[tex]y=\frac{5}{8}x[/tex]So the answer is y= 5/8 x (option B)
