Deriving the Equation Y = MX Using Similar Triangles

The video tutorial explains the concept of line equations, focusing on lines passing through the origin with the equation y=mx. It introduces the concept of slope as the ratio of rise to run and uses similar triangles to derive the equation y=mx. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate how different triangles with the same slope are similar, leading to the derivation of the line equation. Finally, it generalizes the concept for any line through the origin with a given slope.

What condition must x and y satisfy to be on a line with slope m?
