SOLUTION:

To begin with, let's establish that the formula of this line is in slope-intercept form as follows:

y = mx

The formula for this line isn't:

y = mx + b

This is as this line doesn't have a y-intercept ( b ) as it passes through the origin instead. This means that ( b ) would be rendered useless in this formula as it would just bring us back to the y = mx formula as displayed below:

y = mx + b
y = mx + 0
y = mx

Moving on, for ( m ), we need to find the gradient of the line as displayed below:

m = gradient
m = rise / run
m = 10 / 2
m = 5

Now, we must simply substitue ( m ) into the formula in order to obtain the equation for this line as displayed below:

y = mx
y = 5x

Therefore, the answer is:

A. y = 5x
