Which table represents a linear function?
2 answers:
Answer:
(d) see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function has equally-spaced outputs for equally-spaced inputs. The given tables all have sequential values for x, so we can find the linear function by looking at the differences of y-values.
a) 2 -1 ≠ 4 - 2 . . . . not linear (exponential)
b) 1 -0 ≠ 3 -1 . . . . not linear (quadratic)
c) 1 - 0 ≠ 0 - 1 . . . . not linear
d) 3 -1 = 5 -3 = 7 -5 . . . . a linear function
