The following table shows the values of y for different values of x: x y 0 0 1 0 2 4 Which statement best explains whether the table represents a linear function or a nonlinear function? It represents a linear function because its points are on a straight line. It represents a linear function because its points are not on a straight line. It represents a nonlinear function because its points are on a straight line. It represents a nonlinear function because its points are not on a straight line.

he will help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Um, can you paste the table again? It's hard to look at

OpenStudy (igreen):

x y 0 0 1 0 2 4 Is this it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x y 0 0 1 0 2 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya that is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make more sense now i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is it

OpenStudy (igreen):

Okay, here's the points on a graph: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/t42cxgmkkt

OpenStudy (igreen):

Linear means it lines up in a straight line

OpenStudy (igreen):

So what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehhh try again

OpenStudy (igreen):

No, that's incorrect..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try again

OpenStudy (igreen):

Look at the graph, do the points line up in a straight line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do not know please just tell me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u have to try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ok

OpenStudy (igreen):

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/t42cxgmkkt

OpenStudy (igreen):

Do all the points line up in a straight line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

non linear means they dont line up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do they line up to u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no they dont line up

OpenStudy (igreen):

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/n5jwmanesh

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct, so that eliminates A and B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then which is that

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @iGreen Linear means it lines up in a straight line \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) So it's not linear..which means..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u one more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph represents function 1 and the equation represents function 2: A graph with numbers 0 to 4 on the x-axis and y-axis at increments of 1. A horizontal straight line is drawn joining the ordered pairs 0, 3 and 4, 3. Function 2 y = 2x + 1 How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1? 1 2 3 4

OpenStudy (igreen):

One question per post, close this and open a new one.
