The equation represented by the graph is:

y = 50x + 25

How to find the linear equation?

The general linear equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Here we can see that the y-intercept is y = 25, then we can write:

y = mx + 25

We also can see that we have the point (2, 125) in the graph, replacing these values in the equation above we will get:

125 = m*2 + 25

125 - 25 = 2m

100 = 2m

100/2 = m

50 = m

The equation is:

y = 50x + 25
