A) The relationship is linear for every same increment of change in time, the charge always increases by the same amount. So every 5 minute time increment should have the same change in charge.
Slope is 4/5 and y intercept is 2
C) C=(4/5)t+2

Well that's the only thing I can think of. Maybe ask your teacher tomorrow?

Work for slope
slope = change in y/change in x
I used the points (10, 10) and (5, 6)
slope = (10-6)/(10-5)
slope = 4/5

Work for y intercept
y intercept is when x = 0
change of x is 4/5
So if y=6 when x=5,
when x=0, y should be 6-(4/5)(5)=6-4=2
