The LINE varies in distance from the origin.

Do you mean what is its Y intercept?

This can be represented by y = -x + 2 or|dw:1404816399981:dw|

So far are you with me? I rearranged the equation into slope-intercept form: y = mx+ b

Let me know if you are with me so far please and I will continue.

Oh yes, welcome to OpenStudy @xanxan! Great job asking your first question!!

Ok, please let me know if you have any questions about the graph or how I plotted the line, or came to my equation by which to plot the line lol! 

So this gives us 3 points to work with or (coordinates) to plot on the graph, which we will use to determine the distance from the origin to the line.
