seems to be a linear one, thus let us just pick two of those points say (5,2) (10,4) thus \(\bf \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ &({\color{red}{ 5}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 2}})\quad &({\color{red}{ 10}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 4}}) \end{array} \\\quad \\ slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}} \\ \quad \\ y-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}={\color{green}{ m}}(x-{\color{red}{ x_1}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values and solve for "y"}\\ \qquad \uparrow\\ \textit{point-slope form}\)

I still don't understand.

use y2-y1\x2-x1

Is it 2/5x?
