To graph the line Y=1/5x+2, plot the y-intercept at (0,2) and use the slope of 1/5 to plot additional points and connect them with a straight line.

To graph the line Y=1/5x+2, you will start by plotting the y-intercept on the y-axis, which is 2 in this equation. Then, use the slope of 1/5 to determine the rise over the run, meaning for every 5 units you move to the right along the x-axis, you move up 1 unit on the y-axis.

By plotting several points using the slope and connecting them with a straight line, you will have graphed the equation provided.

Example: Starting at the y-intercept (0, 2), move 5 units to the right (to x = 5) and 1 unit up, which gives you the point (5, 3). Connect these two points to graph the line. Repeat the process if more points are needed for accuracy.

Below is the attached graph.
