The equation for the line that represents the data is y = 3.5x + 42.50.

The equation of a line is represented in the form y = mx + b. Where b is the y intercept and m is the slope of the line.

Calculating the slope;

m = 49.50 - 42.50 )/2-0

m = 7/2

m = 3.5

The equation of a line is derived from the equation

y -y₁= m(x-x₁)

y - 42.50 = 3.5(x - 0)

y - 42.50 = 3.5x

y = 3.5x + 42.50

Therefore, the equation for the line that represents the data is y = 3.5x + 42.50
