Question

graph this function:
$y = \frac{5}{8}x$
click to select points on the graph.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the origin point

For $x=0$, substitute into $y=\frac{5}{8}x$:
$y=\frac{5}{8}(0)=0$
Point: $(0,0)$

Step2: Pick positive x value

Choose $x=8$, substitute into the function:
$y=\frac{5}{8}(8)=5$
Point: $(8,5)$

Step3: Pick negative x value

Choose $x=-8$, substitute into the function:
$y=\frac{5}{8}(-8)=-5$
Point: $(-8,-5)$

Answer:

Plot the points $(0,0)$, $(8,5)$, and $(-8,-5)$, then draw a straight line through them to graph $y=\frac{5}{8}x$.
