If the data fits the "slope-intercept form" of the equation of a straight line, it goes without saying that all of the points given you lie on the same line.

Use any 2 points to find the slope of this line.  Use the slope formula.

Close, but not quite.  A quick look at your data tells me that the slope of this line is not positive.  Please show the work you've done in calculating the slope, m.  Thanks.
