Answer 2

A linear function has an equation that can be written in the form of y mx b. Equations whose graphs are not straight lines are called nonlinear functions. Some nonlinear functions have specific names. A quadratic function is nonlinear and has an equation in the form of y ax2 bx c, where a 0.

True this is in the wrong subject, but a linear function is when the functions makes a straight line and a non-linear is the opposite.

There is many ways to tell if a function is linear, but a linear functions have no exponents

Answer 6

yep

Answer 7

You're welcome. ^_^

Answer 8

That's one way

Another way is through a table. If both sides are increasing/decreasing by a common number then it is linear. If not, then it is nonlinear

Answer 9

Ugh drawing fdidn't finish let me finish it xD
