Parth (parthkohli):

what's a linear function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

Parth (parthkohli):

why are you asking when you have no clue about your course material?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that we need to know at least one ordered pair \((x,y)\)

Parth (parthkohli):

nah michele the question meant\[y = x^a - 31\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat does A mean wat power

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

if \(a=1\) we have a linear function, if \(a=2\) we have a quadratic function, and so on...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its A

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

If we are searching for a linear function, then yes, it is option A
