we have the following:

Since the equation starts at (0,10), we know that the y-intercept is 10. Therefore, the equation must take + 10.

The answer is between a and c.

Now, we can notice that the increase is 4 in 4 weight, that is, 1 is 14, 2 is 18, 3 is 22, aproximadamente, therefore, the slope is 4.

The answer is c. y = 4x +10
