Question

the ordered pairs below represent a relation between x and y (-3,-3),(-2,0),(-1.3),(0,6),(2,12) could this set of ordered pairs have been generated by a linear function

Answer 1

alright. why dont you start by putting the x and y values into a function table.

Answer 2

ok i did that what am i suppose to do next

Answer 3

now, graph them

Answer 4

if the line is linear then yes if not then no.

Answer 5

Here ill make things easier for you.

Answer 6

Is this a straight line?

Answer 7

so would it be no because the y-values decrease and the increase

Answer 8

just because they decrease doesnt mean its not linear. If the Y values decrease its just negative.

Answer 9

Straight is linear and those coordinates create a linear graph. It would be yes.

Answer 10

so its yes because the distance between consecutive x-values is constant

Answer 11

right ?

Answer 12

mhm

Answer 13

you got it correct

Answer 14

thank you
