Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{5}x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]k=\frac{y}{x}[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem we have the point (20,4)

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

For x=20, y=4

[tex]k=\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

substitute

[tex]k=\frac{4}{20}[/tex]

simplify

[tex]k=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

The equation is equal to

[tex]y=\frac{1}{5}x[/tex]
