Answer:

The decimal form of the equation is y = 2.5x + 10

The equivalent fraction form is y = (5/2)x + 10 because 5/2 = 2.5

===========================================================

Explanation:

We can pick any two columns from the table to form the two points needed.

I'll pick the first two columns

(1, 12.5)

(2, 15)

Then apply the slope formula to those points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (15-12.5)/(2-1)

m = (2.5)/(1)

m = 2.5

Now use that slope with either point mentioned to find the y intercept b.

y = mx+b

12.5 = 2.5*1 + b

12.5 = 2.5 + b

12.5 - 2.5 = b

10 = b

b = 10

Or

y = mx+b

15 = 2.5*2+b

15 = 5+b

15-5 = b

10 = b

b = 10

We end up with the same b value.

We found that m = 2.5 is the slope and b = 10 is the y intercept

Therefore we go from y = mx+b to y = 2.5x + 10

This is the same as saying y = (5/2)x + 10 since 2.5 = 5/2
