Is y=6x a liner equation

Iam trying to solve a linear equation for the shoe size of someone 84" tall taking into consideration example 1 is 69" tall with a shoe size of 9 and example 2 is 72 inches tall with a shoe size of 11. i understand that the equation should be y=mx+b and that on the graph the answer is (3,2) but i just don't understand how to create the equation to solve for 84-inches and 60-inches tall questions. after two days, i need .

Prove that 3: 8 is equivalent to 12: 32.a. use diagrams to support your answer.

Which statement about the graph of y = 8(0.25)^2
