Answer:

A. y = 8.34x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The first choice is appropriate to the situation where y=10 when x=0 and where y increases by 83.4 when x increases by 10.

___

The equation of selection D is the same and is also appropriate, but the graph does not match the equation. The equations of the other choices are incorrect, as are the graphs.
