Answer:

y = 9 + 19x

Explanation:

To find the equation matching a set of data, you simply try a few values for x and see if by solving that side of the equation you get the value of y. If you do, you found your equation.

You have a big advantage here... since you have the value of y when x = 0.

When x = 0, y = 9, that's a very important data to have to simplify your research.

Let's try the value of 0 for x in each of the given equations:

y = 18 + 10 (0) = 18 --- NO

y = 9 + 19 (0) = 9 --- YES! We can confirm with another value of x:

y = 9 + 19 (1) = 28 --- YES! Confirmed!

y = 9 + 19x is your answer!
