Solution

The correct option is B y=20+15x

Let's create the input output table using the points on the given graph.
Time (in years) 0 1 2 3 4 5
Profit earned (in lakhs) 20 35 50 65 80 95

On analyzing the graph, we can say that it represents a linear equation as it is a line with a y-intercept.

In general equation of a straight line passing through y-axis is given by "y = mx + c" where "m" is slope and "c" is y intercept.

We know that slope of a line (m)=Change in yChange in x

=50 352 1

=15

Value of y-intercept = 20

The equation of the line will be:
y=15x+20
