See a solution process below:

Explanation:

We can use the slope-intercept formula to write an equation for this line. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: $y = m x + b$ $y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)$

Where $m$ $color(red)(m)$ is the slope and $b$ $color(blue)(b)$ is the y-intercept value.

Substituting:

$\frac{5}{2}$ $color(red)(5/2)$ for $m$ $color(red)(m)$

And

$0$ $color(blue)(0)$ for $b$ $color(blue)(b)$

Gives:

$y = \frac{5}{2} x + 0$ $y = color(red)(5/2)x + color(blue)(0)$

Or

$y = \frac{5}{2} x$ $y = color(red)(5/2)x$

$y = \frac{5}{2} x$ $y=5/2x$

Explanation:

$the equation of a line in slope-intercept form$ $"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"$ is

$∙ x y = m x + b$ $•color(white)(x)y=mx+b$

$where m is the slope and b the y-intercept$ $"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"$

$here m = \frac{5}{2} and b = 0$ $"here "m=5/2" and "b=0$

$y = \frac{5}{2} x \leftarrow is the equation of the line$ $y=5/2xlarrcolor(red)"is the equation of the line"$
