    Homework, can't figure it out.. help explain what to do?
    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

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