step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(3,4) and (7,6)

m=(6-4)/(7-3)

m=2/4

m=$0.5 per card

the equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

we have

m=0.50

b=?

point (3,4)

substitute

4=0.5(3)+b

b=4-1.50

b=2.50

y=0.50x+2.5

so

For x=25 cards

substitute

y=0.50(25)+2.50

y=15.00

answer is the option J
