Based on the data table, which equation accurately represents the situation? A. y =8x + 224
B. y = 224x
C. y = 28x
D. y = 0.04x

The equation of the line is:

Hence, option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

Given the table

Gallons               Miles Driven

8                          224

10                         280

4                           112

Finding the slope between any two points, let say (8, 224) and (10, 280)

now substituting (8, 224) and m = 28 in the slope-intercept form of line equation

224 = 28(8) + b

224 = 224 + b

b = 0

Thus, the y-intercept b = 0

now substituting b = 0 and m = 28  in the slope-intercept form of line equation

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

Hence, option C is correct.
