Can anyone explain this to me? Especially how it can pass through the origin (0,0)? Thanks

This is basically the equation y = x/3
The slope is 1/3 and the intercept is 0
As the intercept is 0, the line passes through the origin

The x and y values of the origin satisfy the equation of line: 0 = 0/3
