Answer:

y = 0.8x + 0.5

Explanation:

Let the equation of the line passing through a point (x', y') is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

Here, m = slope of the line

Slope of a line passing through two points
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) is,

m =
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

From the table attached,

Line represented by the table passes through two points (1, 1.3) and (1.5, 1.7).

Therefore, slope of the line (m) =
(1.7-1.3)/(1.5-1)

m =
(0.4)/(0.5)

m = 0.8

Equation of the line passing through (1, 1.3) will be,

y - 1.3 = 0.8(x - 1)

y = 0.8x - 0.8 + 1.3

y = 0.8x + 0.5
