Answer:

Below

Explanation:

Pick two convenient integer coordinate sets on the line

like 0,0 and 10,4

find slope, m = ( y1-y2) / (x1-x) = ( 4-0) / ( 10-0) = 4/10 = 2/5

b = y axis intercept = 0

Slope - intercept equation of a line is of the form : y = mx + b

substitute in the m and b values found above to get

y = 2/5 x + 0

or just y = 2/5 x
