Answer:

(0.3/1)x-1.7

Explanation:

I used the format mx+b

m= slope

x= x value (usually stays as x when you write an equation and replace it with the x value when solving)

b= y-intercept (in this case when p is zero what is the q value)

y-intercept = -1.7 (in this equation found from the table)

slope= 0.3/1 (the rate it the numbers increase at. q is changing +0.3 each time and p is changing by 1. p (or the x value) goes on top of q (or the y value)) (I found the missing information in between 2 and 5)

hence you have (0.3/1)x-1.7
