To find the linear equation, we need to determine the slope and y-intercept. The slope can be found by taking the difference in y-values (B - A) and dividing by the difference in x-values. The slope is therefore (12 - 6) / (100 - 0) = 6/100 = 0.06. The y-intercept can be found by setting x to 0 and solving for y. Here, the y-intercept is 6. Therefore, the linear equation for the relationship is B = 6 - 0.14A, which is equivalent to D.
