Detailed Solution & Explanation

We are given the following tabular values for x\displaystyle x and y\displaystyle y:
x5678y11131517\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline x & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 \\ \hline y & 11 & 13 & 15 & 17 \\ \hline \end{array}
Let's check the relationship by finding the slope (rate of change) m\displaystyle m between successive points:
m=y2y1x2x1=131165=21=2m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{13 - 11}{6 - 5} = \frac{2}{1} = 2
Using the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y=mx+c\displaystyle y = mx + c:
y=2x+cy = 2x + c
To find c\displaystyle c, substitute the first point (5,11)\displaystyle (5, 11):
11=2(5)+c    11=10+c    c=111 = 2(5) + c \implies 11 = 10 + c \implies c = 1
Thus, the relationship is:
y=2x+1y = 2x + 1
Let's verify this equation for the remaining data points:
- For x=6\displaystyle x = 6: y=2(6)+1=13\displaystyle y = 2(6) + 1 = 13 (Matches)
- For x=7\displaystyle x = 7: y=2(7)+1=15\displaystyle y = 2(7) + 1 = 15 (Matches)
- For x=8\displaystyle x = 8: y=2(8)+1=17\displaystyle y = 2(8) + 1 = 17 (Matches)
Therefore, the equation that establishes the relationship is y=2x+1\displaystyle y = 2x + 1, which corresponds to Option C. (Note: The raw JSON specifies Option A, which is y=3x+2\displaystyle y = 3x+2, but that does not fit the given data. Option C is mathematically correct).
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
