The form of the linear equation is
y = m x + b
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept
The rule of the slope is
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line
Since (0,0) and (10, 12) are two points on the line
x1 = 0 and y1 = 0
x2 = 10 and y2 = 12
Now substitute them in the rule to find m
[tex]m=\frac{12-0}{10-0}=\frac{12}{10}=1.2[/tex]
The slope of the line is 1.2
Substitute it in the form of the equation
y = 1.2 x + b
b is the y-intercept which means value y at x = 0
Since at x = 0, y = 0
Then b = 0
The equation of the line is
y = 1.2 x
