Answer: B. y=3x+7.5

Explanation:

First, you find m by doing
(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) =m
. You end up with
m=2
. Then you plug it into
(y-y_0)=m(x-x_0)
to find the b in
y=mx+b
. When you do that, you get
b=7
. So, you end up with the equation of the table as
y=2x+7
and since it's a linear function, the slope (m) won't change. Now you compare this equation to the others given. The slope in answer A is too small and the y-intercepts in answers B and C are too small, so you are left with b as your only option.
