The linear equation shown in the graph is:

y = 7.5*x

How to find the linear equation?

First, we can see that the line passes through the origin, the point (0, 0), so the y-intercept of this line is b = 0, which means that we have a proportional relation.

y = a*x

To find the value of a we can use any point in the graph, we can see that the line passes through (4, 30), replacing these values we get:

30 = a*4

30/4 = a

7.5 = a

The linear equation is:

y = 7.5*x
