Put your line into slope-intercept form y=m%2Ax%2Bb.
4x-2y=5
2y=4x%2B5
y=2x%2B5%2F2
The slope of that line is m%5B1%5D=2.
Parallel lines have identical slopes.
m%5B1%5D=m%5B2%5D=2
You also know that y=0 at x=0
Use the point-slope form of a line.
y-y%5Bp%5D=m%28x-x%5Bp%5D%29
From above,
x%5Bp%5D=y%5Bp%5D=0
Substituting all the values.
y-y%5Bp%5D=m%28x-x%5Bp%5D%29
y-0=%282%29%28x-0%29
y=2x
Graph them to prove out the solution.
