Answer: choice C, y = 0.014x+0.85
==============================
Explanation:
Each column of the table represents an (x,y) pair of values
x = number of pages
y = cost
If we look at the first two columns, we see the two points (50,1.55) and (100,2.25). The x value is listed first. Let's compute the slope of the line through these two points
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (2.25-1.55)/(100-50)
m = 0.7/50
m = 0.014
So far, we see the answer is between A,B or C as they have the slope of 0.014
Use this slope value, and one of the points -- say (x,y) = (50,1.55) -- to find the y intercept b
y = mx+b
y = 0.014x+b .... plug in the slope found earlier
1.55 = 0.014*50+b ... plug in the point (x,y) = (50,1.55)
1.55 = 0.7+b
1.55-0.7 = 0.7+b-0.7 ... subtract 0.7 from both sides
0.85 = b
b = 0.85
With m = 0.014 as the slope and b = 0.85 as the y intercept, we can say that y = mx+b turns into y = 0.014x+0.85. That narrows the answer down to choice C.

They reject if the pie is more than 3.2oz from 28oz.
The scale shows positive number if its more than 28oz.
The scale shows negative number if its less than 28oz.
The scale shows zero if its 28oz.
A . Scale reads -2.8oz which means less than 28oz, So accepted.
B. Scale reads 3.5oz which means 3.5oz more than 28oz. So rejected.
C. Scale reads -3.3oz which means less than 28oz, So accepted.
D. Scale reads 28oz which means more than 28oz, So rejected.
