First, we find the slope using the following formula
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]Let's replace the points (1,10) and (5, 170) where
[tex]\begin{gathered} x_1=1 \\ x_2=5 \\ y_1=10 \\ y_2=170 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]m=\frac{170-10}{5-1}=\frac{160}{4}=40[/tex]Then, we use the point-slope formula to find the equation
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ y-10=40(x-1) \\ y-10=40x-40 \\ y=40x-40+10 \\ y=40x-30 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the answer is D where x is M.
