One way:

Epilog -> 
  Text[ToString[TraditionalForm[y]] <> " = " <> 
      ToString[TraditionalForm[f[x]]]

<< What value of Epilog in a Plot expression will properly format

in conventional mathematical style?  That is, the y, f, and x should be 
italicized but the = and parentheses should not.

Some things that do NOT work:

Epilog -> Text[TraditionalForm[y = f(x)], {0.5, 0.5}]

(* that just sets y to be f(x) and then displays f(x) *)

textForm[txt_] := StyleForm[txt, FontFamily -> Times]
mathForm[txt_] := StyleForm[txt, FontFamily -> Times, FontSlant -> Italic]

Epilog -> Text[mathForm["y "], textForm["="], mathForm[" f(x)"], {0.5 0.5}]

(* SOMETHING like the preceding should work, but I don't see how to
    combine the three StyleForm results *)
