You could model this data with the following linear equation: y = 30x + 900

To find this equation, we first need to find the slope. That is the change between the two given amount.

(1500 - 1200) / (60 - 30) = 300 / 30 = 10

Now, we just need to find the y-intercept.

y = 10x + b

1500 = 10 (60) + b

1500 = 600 + b

900 = b
