Answer

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x+5$

Work Step by Step

Using $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ or the Point-Slope Form of linear equations, the equation of the line with the given conditions, \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} y_1=5 ,\\x_1=0 ,\\m=\dfrac{1}{2} ,\end{array} is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ y-5=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-0) \\\\ y-5=\dfrac{1}{2}x \\\\ y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+5 .\end{array} In function notation, the equation above is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} f(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x+5 .\end{array}
