Oh no! Something went wrong while adding your answer
It's too short. Write at least 20 characters to explain it well.

For every column but the one with 0s in it, divide the y over the x
Column2: y/x = 10/2 = 5
Column3: y/x = 35/7 = 5
Column4: y/x = 60/12 = 5
So the equation is y = 5x
The reason why we can't use the 0 column is because 0/0 is undefined. The value of 0/0 is not equal to 0, nor is it equal to 1.

So 5 will go in the box.
