    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
