SOLUTION
Given the data in the table below, we are to write the best equation that fits the data in the table in the form,
![y=mx+b](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/smsb8cbft03lwblmi49nf2l6jby2ofxzws.png)
We will be resolving it using the graphical method,
Therefore, the graph is shown below:
From the graph above,
![\begin{gathered} m=a=0.0845238 \\ b=-1.70159 \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/quuylh7e1jk7vljbps1qptnwvm9cmz962k.png)
Therefore, the equation is
![y=0.0845238x-1.70159](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/hu2qsovpydkbrbnra6w8e78pm5fftwff7f.png)
Final answers
The notation is
![y=0.0845238x+-1.70159](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/5x80d1cp0hw7u2l3imrxlkg7r0dk9woqb6.png)
The function notation is
![f(x)=0.0845238x+-1.70159](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/f1b0d9t992e883np7whwmvxv01x8dcyzq6.png)
