Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

The table provides two points: (2, 8) and (6, 12).

Calculate the slope (m): m = (12 - 8) / (6 - 2) = 4 / 4 = 1.

Find the y-intercept (b) using the equation y = mx + b: 8 = 1(2) + b, so b = 6.

The linear equation is: y = x + 6.

Substitute x = 5 into the equation: y = 5 + 6 = 11.

Final Answer: Option 3 (11)
