will fan and give medal:) Which is NOT true about the following table? A)it shows a linear function B)x increases by 1 each time C)the rate of change is not constant D)y increases by a different value each time

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay what do you think ? i want to see what you already know :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha well i already know b and d are true so I'm stuck on if its a or c

Nnesha (nnesha):

great so do you know what it's mean by constant ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

average rate of change = slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thats what I'm stuck on @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay you have to find slope of the table constant term meaning slope is 0 |dw:1431307545031:dw| when slope is 0 you would get horizontal line meaning only x values are increasing while y values stays same so find slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is y = 5x − 4 @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

that is equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what am i trying to do "/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

which 2 points did u use ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,1 and 4,16

Nnesha (nnesha):

great your equation is right now choose another point and seee if you get equal sides

Nnesha (nnesha):

(2,4) y =5x -4 replace x and y by their values let me know what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is the correct answer

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay why do you think is it A ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

it is*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause c is true

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes that's also right all tables values should be solution of the equation linear function when values are increasing or decreasing by a same value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I'm good :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

yep right btw last option give us a big clue y values are increases by a different value gO_Od to go!
