Question

Which statement best explains whether y = 4x + 8 is a linear function or a nonlinear function?

It is a linear function because the graph contains the points (8, 0), (12, 1), (16, 2), which are on a straight line.
It is a nonlinear function because the graph contains the points (8, 0), (12, 1), (16, 2), which are not on a straight line.
It is a linear function because the graph contains the points (0, 8), (1, 12), (2, 16), which are on a straight line.
It is a nonlinear function because the graph contains the points (0, 8), (1, 12), (2, 16), which are not on a straight line
