Since $y = \frac{5}{4} x + 2$ $y=5/4x+2$ is a linear equation, we only need to find two solution coordinates; plot them and draw a line through them.

$y = \frac{5}{4} x + 2$ $y=5/4x+2$ is a linear equation (in slope-intercept form, although I won't particularly use this information)

As long as we pick values of $x$ $x$ that are multiples of $4$ $4$ , we we obtain integer values for $y$ $y$ (which should make the plotting easier).

The values of $x$ $x$ that I decided to use are $0$ $0$ and $4$ $4$ giving the $(x, y)$ $(x,y)$ solution points $(0, 2)$ $(0,2)$ and $(4, 7)$ $(4,7)$

Plotting these points and drawing a line through them produced the image:
