Answer:

Equation : y = 50x + 100

Explanation:

to find equation:

first take two coordinates: ( 10 , 600 ) , ( 14 , 800 )

now find the slope:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

:
(800-600)/(14-10)

:
(200)/(4)

: 50

now find equation using: y - y1 = m( x - x1 )

: y - 600 = 50( x - 10 )

: y = 50x - 500 + 600

: y = 50x + 100
