We must find 2 line equations, a line equation for the red line and another line equation for the blue one.

For the red line, we have 2 points,


\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(0,25) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(700,81) \end{gathered}

by means of these point and the slope formula


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

we have


\begin{gathered} m=(81-25)/(700-0) \\ m=(56)/(700) \\ m=0.08 \end{gathered}

hence, the form for the red line is


f(t)=0.08t+b

Now, the y-intercept b can be obtained by susbtituying point (0,25), that is


\begin{gathered} 25=0.08(0)+b \\ \text{hence,} \\ b=25 \end{gathered}

and the red line equation is


f(t)=0.08t+25

Now, lets continue with the blue line. In this case, their points are (0,4) and (700,81). Hence, the slope is


\begin{gathered} m=(81-4)/(700-0) \\ m=(77)/(700) \\ m=0.11 \end{gathered}

and the y-intercept is b=4. Finally, the blue equation is


g(t)=0.11t+4
