Detailed Solution

The given equation is y = mx.
We know that the linear equation is an equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph.
The function of the first degree

y = m x

always represents a line passing through the origin of the axes where m is called angular coefficient.
If

m > 0

, the function is increasing and if

m < 0

the function is decreasing.
If

m = 0,

the line coincides with the axis of x and y.

Therefore, the graph y = mx is a line that passes through the origin.
Hence, option (3) is correct.
