The ordered pairs below represent a relation between x and y.

(-3,-3), (-2,0), (-1,3), (0,6), (1,9), (2,12)

Could this set of ordered pairs have been generated by a linear function?

A. No, because the y-values decrease and then increase
B. Yes, because the relative difference between y-values and x-values is the same no matter which pairs of (x, y) values you use to calculate it
C. Yes, because the distance between consecutive x-values is constant
D. No, because the distance between consecutive y-values is different than the distance between consecutive x-values
