Answer 3

Can you plot the points please?

Answer 4

Anyone know it ?

Answer 5

linear ;)

Answer 6

its not letting me paste my graph so let me do math

Answer 7

pick 2 sets of points
1......... (0,6) and (-1,22)
m= (y-y)/(x-x)
(0--1)/ (6-22)
1/-16

2..........(3,-42) and (2,-26)
m = (y-y)/(x-x)
(3-2)/(-42+26)
1/-16

Same slope for both sets sooooooo its linear
