Answer:
[tex](a)\ m = \frac{4}{3}[/tex] --- slope of OA
[tex](b)\ y = \frac{4}{3}x[/tex] --- the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached graph
Solving (a): Slope of OA
First, we identify two points on OA
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,0)[/tex]
[tex](x_2,y_2) = (3,4)[/tex]
So, the slope (m) is:
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]m = \frac{4-0}{3-0}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Solving (b): The equation
This is calculated as:
[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]
Recall that:
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,0)[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]y = \frac{4}{3}(x - 0) + 0[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{4}{3}(x)[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{4}{3}x[/tex]
