Here's the question:

Find the slope-intercept form for the equation of the line which passes through the point (–3, 2) and the origin.

I've been working on it for hours, and I can't figure out what (origin) would mean, cause you please help. I'm not looking for the answer, just help with the question. :D

Origin is the point 0,0. Get a sheet of graph paper and plot the points if it helps you visualize the line.

The 'slope-intercept form' is the form y=mx+c

where m is the slope of the line,
c is the point where the line meets the y-axis, or the y-intercept.
