Final answer:

To read an image in Python using the cv2 library, you need to first install the OpenCV library and then use the 'read' function of the cv2 library to read the image.

Step-by-step explanation:

To read an image in Python using the cv2 library, you need to first install the OpenCV library by running the command 'pip install opencv-python' in your terminal or command prompt.

Once OpenCV is installed, you can use the following code:

import cv2

image = cv2.imread('path_to_image.jaypeegee')

In this code, 'path_to_image.jaypeegee' should be replaced with the actual path to the image file you want to read. The 'read' function of the cv2 library allows you to read the image and store it in the 'image' variable.
