Answer:

Explanation:

A line is expressed as y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y intercept. As long as we have two points we can solve the equation of that line.

y=mx+b

For the top line I found two points (5,200) and (30,325)

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(325-200)/(30-5)=125/25=5

y=5x+b, using point (5,200) we can solve for b

200=5(5)+b, b=200-25=175 so the line is

y=5x+175

For the bottom line we have points (5,50) and 10,100)

m=(100-50)/(10-5)=50/5=10

y=10x+b, using point (5,50) we have

50=10(5)+b, b=50-50=0 so

y=10x
