An equation must capture two independent features of the table: how much y changes for each one-unit change in x, and the y-value when x is zero. Find those pieces separately, place them in the rate-times-input-plus-start structure, and test the resulting rule on more than one row. Agreement everywhere is stronger evidence than matching a single pair.
