A line in the xy-plane passes through the origin and has a slope of 4/5. What points lie on that line.

Our line equation is:
y = mx + b

We're given:
m = 4/5
(x, y) = (0, 0)

So we have:
0 = 4/5(0) + b
0 = 0 + b
b = 0

Therefore, our line equation is:
y = 4/5x

Start plugging in values here to get a list of points
