B. y=5/8 x
Step-by-step explanation:
The origin is (0,0) and the point where the line passes is (-8,-5)
Find the slope of the line, m, which is the ratio of rise to run
m=Δy coordinates/Δx coordinates
Δy=-5-0 = -5
Δx= -8-0 = -8
m= -5/-8= 5/8
Taking point (-8,-5) and a point on the line (x,y), the equation of the line will be
Δy/Δx= m
y--5/x--8 = 5/8
performing cross multiplication
8(y+5) = 5(x+8)
8y+40=5x +40
8y=5x +40-40
8y=5x
y=5/8 x
