Answer:

y - 5 = 5(x - 1)

Explanation:

Two points on the graph are (1, 5) and (7, 35). Going from the first to the second, we see x (the 'run') increasing by 6 and y (the 'rise') increasing by 30. Hence the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 30/6, or 5.

Using the point-slope equation, we get

y - 5 = 5(x - 1)
