Since it's a linear equation and there's a constant rate (given in the problem), we can choose our x - axis to be the time and the y - axis to be height. We choose it that way because you are going up in the elevator. The more time in the elevator, the higher you go.
Finding this equation uses the point slope formula, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁). It can be done with slope-intercept, y = mx + b too.).
First we need to get the slope of the line. Choose any two points, but be consistent and choose two y points as well as the matching x ones. Here, we use x₁ = 2, x₂ = 4, y₁ = 45, y₂ = 75. Slope, m, is y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁.
m = 75 - 45 / 4 - 2
= 30 /2
= 15
Next, we use the slope of 15 and either of the points to find the linear equation. Choose the same (2, 45) x-y pair above, but any point will work.
y - 45 = 15 (x - 2)
y - 45 = 15x - 30
y = 15x + 15
So the linear equation representing this table us y = 15x + 15.

The police is traveling at a speed of 80 kmh while the bank robbers are traveling at a speed of 70kmh so the Police is 10kmh more than the robbers that means the police is more faster and will take 10kmh to catch up the bank robbers
