Answer:

y = 380

Explanation:

Pick any two points in table to find slope, let's use (4, 350) and (6, 330):

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (330 - 350) / (6 - 4)

= -20 / 2

m = -10

Pick any one point in table, let's use (4, 350) and slope m from above to find y-intercept:

y = mx + b

350 = -10(4) + b

350 = -40 + b

b = 390

Use m and b from above to form Equation of line:

y = mx + b

y = -10x + 390

Pick a few points from table to check equation y = -10x + 390 is valid:

Point (4, 350)

350 = -10(4) + 390

350 = -40 + 390

350 = 350

Point (8, 310)

310 = -10(8) + 390

310 = -80 + 390

310 = 310

What is y when x = 1:

y = -10x + 390

y = -10(1) + 390

y = -10 + 390

y = 380
