Answer: y = 5x

Explanation:

We will write this equation in slope-intercept form. This form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Our given slope is 5, so we can substitute that into the equation.

Here, since our equation is going through the origin (0, 0), there is no y-intercept.

This leaves us with y = 5x. I have attached a picture of this graph below.
