The data table represents the distance between a well-known lighthouse and a cruise ship over time. The cruise ship is travelling at uniform speed. Which equation represents the distance (y) from the lighthouse, based on the number of hours (x)?

The vertex of the quadratic function is (1.5, -.75)

This is what i found “an explicit formula designates the nth term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). it defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. this example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
