None of the provided equations accurately represents the relationship between y and x in this scenario. To find the equation for the day with the fastest running time, we need to compare the times it took to run different distances.

First, let's convert the times to minutes per mile for each day:

Monday: 40 minutes for 4 miles = 10 minutes per mile
Wednesday: 16 minutes for 2 miles = 8 minutes per mile

Based on these calculations, we can see that Wednesday is the day with the fastest running time.

So, the correct equation is:

y = 8x
