Look at the picture.

It's a linear function.

A slope-point formula:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

We have the points (1, 250) and (2, 300).

Substitute:


m=(300-250)/(2-1)=(50)/(1)=50\\\\y-250=50(x-1)\\\\y-250=50x-50\qquad|+250\\\\y=50x+200

Calculate the value of function for x = 12:


y=50(12)+200=600+200=800

Answer: 800
