See below

Work Step by Step

We will first plot the points that we get from the data. We can notice it creates a graph that looks like the graph of a linear function. Hence, this data can be modeled by a linear function $y=ax+b$ By using a graphing calculator, we find that $a=0.8474\\b=-1659.86$ Hence, the model for the given data is: $y=0.8474x-1659.86$
