The linear function that models the problem is

y = -0.3x + 253

How to model the required equation

The linear equation is written in the slope intercept form

y = mx + c

definition of variable to suit the problem

y = output variable

m = slope

x = input variable

c = y intercept

The equation as described in the problem is represented using linear function as as follows

using points from the table:

(170, 203) and (150, 209)

m = (203 - 209) / (170 - 150)

m = -6 / 20

m = --3/10 = -0.3

Lets find the equation using a third point (190, 196)

y - 196 = -0.3 (x - 190)

y = -0.3x + 57 + 196

y = -0.3x + 253
