for this problem you need an equation first
OpenStudy (eli_moses):
the starting equation for the plant is \[112=4x+6\] because you need to get to 112, the plant starts at 6 cm, and it rises 4 cm per day
OpenStudy (eli_moses):
now try to sole the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=53/2 ?

which equation wouldn't be linear in this case
OpenStudy (eli_moses):
we see A is linear because it's equation is the same as y=x-3
OpenStudy (eli_moses):
which other one would be linear
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats what we are asking you.
OpenStudy (eli_moses):
B has exponents so it's not linear
on a graph the lines would be curved
therefore, which is not a literal equation?
