Question

Is the function linear or nonlinear?


x −2 0 1 3 4
y 4 8 10 14 16





A.


linear


B.


nonlinear

Answer 1

Well, what does linear mean to you?

Answer 2

linear is when the point lies on the line
noncolinear is when the point does not lie on the line

Answer 3

if x changes by 1 (if x goes from 0 to 1) y changes by 2 (from 8 to 10)

Answer 4

Look at some of the other numbers:
if x changes by 2 y changes by 4

Answer 5

If a function is linear it has a constant slope. That means if we change x say by 1 y will always change by the same amount. If we change x by 2 y will always change by the same amount(2 times what it changed for 1).

Answer 6

its B

Answer 7
