Answer:

y=0x+5

Explanation:

The first step to making an equation of a line is finding the slope. To do this, we can use the point slope formula:
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

In this case,


y_2=5


y_1\\=5


x_2=0


x_1=2

so, we have the equation
(5-5)/(0-2), which gives us 0. The slope of this equation is 0.

Now we have the equation y=0x+b. Let's find b! We can do this by plugging in one of the points into our new equation, let's use (2,5)

5=y, 2=x

5=0(2)+b

b=5

now, we plug b=5 into our equation, and we finally get y=0x+5!
