From the given table and options, we can note a linear behavior. Lets find the slope m and the y-intercept b for our table. As we know the line equation is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where the slope m is given by

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

where the values on the right hand side come from 2 points of our table, for instance, we can choose points

[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(2,32) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(5,50) \end{gathered}[/tex]

by substtuting these values into the slope formula, we get

[tex]m=\frac{50-32}{5-2}[/tex]

which gives

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{18}{3} \\ m=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

then, our line equation has the form

[tex]y=6x+b[/tex]

In order to find b, we must substitute one of the 2 choosen points, if we substitute point (2,32), we get

[tex]32=6(2)+b[/tex]

then, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} 32=12+b \\ 32-12=b \\ b=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

then, the searched line is

[tex]y=6x+20[/tex]

which corresponds to the last option
