Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

As we can see in the following graph, this table is represented by a line:

We can get the equation by applying the line formula:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Computing the slope by taking two any points, as for instance, (x_1,y_1)= (0,50) and (1,53):

`\text{Slope}=(53-50)/(1-0)=(3)/(1)=3`

Now, plugging in one point into the generic equation with the given slope give us the value of b, as follows:

`50=3(0)+b`
`50=b`

In conclusion, the equation is:

y = 3x + 50
