linear

Mark, because for every 2-unit increase in x, there is an increase in y by 4 Mark, because for every 4-unit increase in x, there is an increase in y by 2 Jason, because the point (0, –1) does not lie on the straight line that contains the other points Jason, because the point (–6, –13) does not lie on the straight line that contains the other points

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

OpenStudy (plasmataco):
