Answer:

y = 5x.

Explanation:

Read the table from top to bottom. You'll see that each time x increases by 1, y increases by 5. We know immediately that the slope of this line is m = rise/run = 5/1 = 5.

Using the first point (2, 10), we see that y = 10 when x = 2. Fit this info into the slope-intercept form of the equation o a straight line:

y = mx + b becomes 10 = 5(2) + b, or b = 0, and the final equation is y = 5x.
