Answer:

The equation is y = 4x + 5

Explanation:

To find the equation to this table, pick two ordered pairs and use the slope formula to find the slope. For this we'll use (4, 21) and (8, 37).

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (37 - 21)(8 - 4)

m = 16/4

m = 4

Now we can use that slope along with any point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 21 = 4(x - 4)

y - 21 = 4x - 16

y = 4x + 5
