Answer:


y=(1)/(5)x+2

Explanation:

Given : (5, 3) and (20, 6).

To Find: the linear approximation of the data that passes through the points (5, 3) and (20, 6).

Solution:

We are given the two points (5, 3) and (20, 6).

Now to find equation of line we will use two point slope form.

Formula :
y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)(x-x_1)


(x_1,y_1)=(5,3)


(x_2,y_2)=(20,6)

Substitute the values in the formula .


y-3=(6-3)/(20-5)(x-5)


y-3=(3)/(15)(x-5)


y-3=(1)/(5)(x-5)


y-3=(1)/(5)x-1


y=(1)/(5)x-1+3


y=(1)/(5)x+2

Hence the linear approximation of the data that passes through the points (5, 3) and (20, 6) is
y=(1)/(5)x+2
