Function is a linear one and y=6x+5

Explanation:

Observing given numbers, x takes values {4,5,6,7,.....), starting from 4 it continues to increase by 1.

However, y takes values {29,35,41,47.} and starting from 29 it continues to increase each time by 6.

As while x increases by 1, y increases by 6,

the relation is of the type y=6x+k, a linear function.

For finding k, as y is 29, when x is 4, we have

29=6xx4+k

or 29=24+k

or k=29-24=5

Hence function is a linear one and y=6x+5
