discrete and linear discrete and non-linear continuous and linear continuous and non-linear

OpenStudy (phi):

did you plot the points ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I just don't know what it is asking.

OpenStudy (phi):

If the graph is a straight line, it is linear. If it curves, it is not linear if the graph is ONLY dots, it is discrete if the graph is a line, it is continuous

OpenStudy (phi):

It is difficult to read numbers as words, so I can't tell off-hand what shape this graph is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It does curve.

OpenStudy (phi):

then you are have only two possible answers. If the graph is only dots, then it is discrete.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, thank you very much but what does it mean to discrete or continuous?

OpenStudy (phi):

continuous means the graph has a value everywhere... it is a continuous line discrete means you plot discrete points... you have to lift up your pencil to move to the next spot to plot. I can't see your graph, so you will have to figure this out. (If the graph is both a line with dots, then it is continuous )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I see what you mean. Thank you again very much! The graph is just dots no lines.

OpenStudy (phi):

so discrete and because it curves, non-linear (fancy word for not a straight line)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you :) and if I need you again how do I contact you on here
