Explanation

Choice A is correct. Each of the given choices gives three values of $x$ : $0$ , $2$ , and $4$ . Substituting $0$ for $x$ in the given equation yields $y = 70 (0) + 8$ , or $y equals 8$ . Therefore, when $x equals 0$ , the corresponding value of $y$ for the given equation is $8$ . Substituting $2$ for $x$ in the given equation yields $y = 70 (2) + 8$ , or $y equals 148$ . Therefore, when $x equals 2$ , the corresponding value of $y$ for the given equation is $148$ . Substituting $4$ for $x$ in the given equation yields $y = 70 (4) + 8$ , or $y equals 288$ . Therefore, when $x equals 4$ , the corresponding value of $y$ for the given equation is $288$ . Thus, if the three values of $x$ are $0$ , $2$ , and $4$ , then their corresponding values of $y$ are $8$ , $148$ , and $288$ , respectively, for the given equation.

Choice B is incorrect. This table gives three values of $x$ and their corresponding values of $y$ for the equation $y = 4 x + 70$ .

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
