Answer:
d: y=5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know a few points: (2,10), (3,15), (4,20), we can use two of them to first find the slope. The equation for the slope is (Increase in y)/(increase in x).
1. Slope between (2,10) and (3,15) is 5/1 which is 5. So the slope will be 5.
2. With the slope, we know that our equation will be: y=5x+b. To find b, we can replace x and y with another point. 20 = 5(4)+b. --> 20 = 20 +b. Now we know that b equals 0.
Our final equation will be y = 5x.
RECHECKING!
I'll recheck whether my answer is right or not using Desmos (A online graphing calculator).
I added an image down below, and I drew the points in blue. This shows that since the graph crosses all three points, it is correct.
WHY y=1/5x IS NOT CORRECT (based on your comments)
If you look at the points, the relationship between x and y is not 1/5. If you multiply something from x, it should become 10.
--> 2 times __ = 10
--> 3 times __ = 15
--> 4 times __ = 20
And clearly, __ will be 5. If it becomes 1/5, we won't get the right number of y.
This is why y=1/5 is not correct.
Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:
Include a Claim, Evidence, Explanation, and Conclusion for full credit.
Cells were obtained from a patient with a viral infection. The DNA extracted from these cells consisted of two forms: double-stranded human DNA and single-stranded viral DNA. The base composition of these two forms of DNA are shown in the image.
Construct an argument based on evidence to determine which form was the viral DNA and which form was the human DNA.
