slope intercept: #y=1/2x#
point-slope: #2y-x=0#

Explanation:

slope intercept form equation: #y=mx+b#
#m# is the slope
#b# is the y intercept, or when #x=0#.
If C(0,0), then the y intercept is #0# because when y is #0#, x is #0#.

#y=mx+b#
#y=1/2x+b#
#y=1/2x+0#
#y=1/2x#

In point-slope form, x and y are on the same side of the equation and there are no fractions or decimals. So, use the slope-intercept form to find it.

#y=1/2x#
#y-1/2x=0#
#2y-x=0#

Hope this helps!
