The relationship between x (time in seconds) and y (distance in meters) in the table is a linear relationship. The distance increases by a constant rate of 12.5 meters every 5 seconds.
Therefore, the equation that can be used to model this relationship is:
y = 2.5x
seconds.

5 12.5
10 25.0
15 37.5
20 50.0
25 62.5
