For any polynomial equation, there must be no constant term.
For equations in general there is no easy way. Substitute 0 for each of the variables and if the resulting expression is 0 then the line passes through the origin.

What is the equation of the line whose graph passes through the origin and has a slope of 1?
Slope = 1Y-intercept = 0Y = X
The y-intercept of a line through the origin is zero?
Yes, because the line crosses the y-axis at the origin and the y-value at that point is 0. Therefore, the y-intercept is zero and this equation for this line would be y=x.
Which quadrants does the line representing the equation y equals 7x pass through?
Quadrants I and III, numbered from I at upper right (+, +) left and moving clockwise. The line passes through the origin (0,0).
What is the slope and y-intercept of the line given by the equation y equals -5x?
The slope is -5. The x- and y-intercepts are both zero. In other words, it passes through the origin.
Write in slope intercept form the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point?
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
What is the equation of a line that has zero slope and passes through the origin?
y = 0. You can get this from the slope-intercept equation of the line.
What is an equation of the form ymx for the line that passes through the origin and has slope 2?
The straight line equation is: y = 2x
What are the characteristics of a line that has the equation y equals mx?
it's a straight line. Through the origin.
When does the equation of a line in slope-intercept form look just like its equation in point-slope form?
When it is a line through the origin.
What is the equation of a line that passes through the origin and has a slope of -2?
It is: y = -2x
Which is an equation of a line with a slope of 3 that passes through the origin?
y = 3x
What is the equation of a line passing through the origin with a slope of positive one?
y=x
The equation of the line m equals -5 and passing through the origin?
y = -5x
What is a line that passes through the origin and has a slope of 1 called?
It is a straight line equation in the form of: y = x
Enter an equation of the form y equals mx for the line that passes through the origin and has slope 2?

A line passes through the origin and has a slope of?
which equation has a slope of -1/2 and a graph that passes through (-3,4)?
What equation of a line that has a gradient of 3 and passes through the origin?
y=3x
