The data table represents the distance between a well-known lighthouse and a cruise ship over time. The cruise ship is travelling at uniform speed. Which equation represents the distance (y) from the lighthouse, based on the number of hours (x)?

Number of Hours Distance from Lighthouse
(in oceanic miles)
2 53
4 95.5
6 138
8 180.5
10 223
12 265.5
14 308
16 350.5
y = 42.5x + 10.5
y = 10.5x + 32
y = 21.25x + 10.5
y = 12.25x + 28.5
y = 12.5x + 10.5
