hello

to solve this question, let's write the standard equation of a straight line


\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ \end{gathered}
y=(5)/(8)x+6

since, this equation passes the given gpoint and it's parallel to it, we will have to modify our equation


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)+c

the given points are (0, 0)

let's insert it and solve


\begin{gathered} y-0=(5)/(8)(x-0)+6 \\ y=(5)/(8)x+6 \end{gathered}

from the calculation above, the equation of the line is y = 5/8x + 6
