From the table, we can see that when the x value is 1, the y value is 7. This means that in 1 minute, Nancy can make 7 free throws.

To find out how many free throws Nancy can make in 10 minutes, we can set up a proportion.

1 minute ---> 7 free throws
10 minutes ---> y (the number of free throws she can make in 10 minutes)

Using cross multiplication, we can solve for y:

1 * y = 10 * 7

y = 70

Therefore, Nancy can make 70 free throws in 10 minutes.
