Answer

$y=Cx$

Work Step by Step

First we must find the slope of the tangent line that runs between $(x,y)$ and $(0,0)$. $Slope=\frac{0−y}{0−x}=\frac{y}{x}$ Therefore, the derivative of the function f must be $\frac{y}{x}$. $f′(x)=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y}{x}$ $\frac{1}{y}dy=\frac{1}{x}dx$ $\ln{y}=\ln{x}+C_1$ $y=e^{\ln{x}+C_1}$ $y=e^{C_1}x$ $y=Cx$, where $C=e^{C_1}$
