Finding Linear Equations from Tables

Jake and his friends chose a cabin that charges an initial fee plus the cost per night. The relationship between the cost and the number of nights is shown in the graph below. What is the equation of the graph of the line?

• y = 75x + 50

• y = 50x + 75

• y = 75x - 50

• y = 50x - 75
