Answer:

y=4x+5

Explanation:

Mathematically, the slope m of a line is:

$m=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x) = (y-y_o)/(x-x_o)$

Therefore, if we know the slope m of the line and a point
(x_o , y_o) we will be able to find its equation simply solving for y:

y-y_o=m(x-x_o)

Replacing the data provided by the problem:

$y-5=4(x-0)\\\\y-5=4x\\\\y=4x+5$
