Explanation:

it seems you did not show us all tables (we see the top of another table at the bottom of the picture).

however, the third table is a linear function.

the reason : the change in y from one point to another must be constant in remain to the change in x.

the first 3 points have the same difference in x (+2) and the same difference in y (also +2).

then x changes by only +1, but y also changes by +1, so their charge ratio stays the same.

then x changes again by +2, and y also changes by +2, so, again the y/x change ratio stays the same.
