Answer:

B

Explanation:

Determine the equation of the line given by the table and compare with given options.

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (7, 19) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m =
(19-9)/(7-2) =
(10)/(5) = 2 , then

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

to find c substitute any ordered pair from the table into the partial equation.

using (6, 17 ), that is x = 6, y = 17 , then

17 = 12 + c ⇒ c = 17 - 12 = 5

y = 2x + 5 ← equation of line from table, with y- intercept c = 5

thus the function with a y- intercept greater than the table line is B
