Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{4}{3}x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through the origin has an equation y = mx

m - slope

The formula of a slope of a line passes through the origin

and a point (x, y):

[tex]m=\dfrac{y}{x}[/tex]

We have the point (6, 8). Substitute:

[tex]m=\dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{8:2}{6:2}=\dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]

Finally:

[tex]y=\dfrac{4}{3}x[/tex]
