Mercury · Answer

as defined in the table, snapdragons are represented by x and daisies are represented by y

let's take two points from the table: (11,34) and (12,33)
apply the slope formula to find the slope between the two points (m)
then, use the point-slope formula (y-y1) = m(x-x1), plugging in one of the points from the table as the (x1,y1) value, to write an equation. you may need to re-arrange the equation to match one of the answer choices.

from there, since the problem is asking for the # of snapdragons for 29 daisies, let y = 29 and solve for x
