A scientist measured the water pressure at different depths. She made a table showing her findings. The x-values represent the d
epth, in meters. The y-values represent the pressure in atmospheres (atm).

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation will be in the form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2.5, 0) ← 2 points on the line
m = = - 2
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 5) ⇒ c = 5
y = - 2x + 5 or
y = 5 - 2x → A
