notice the picture, the line runs through the origin, 0,0 and 5,1, so let's use those points then,


\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc} &&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\ % (a,b) &&(~ 0 &,& 0~) % (c,d) &&(~ 5 &,& 1~) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-0}{5-0}\implies \cfrac{1}{5} \\\\\\ % point-slope intercept \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-0=\cfrac{1}{5}(x-0)\implies y=\cfrac{1}{5}x
