Question

HELP ASAP! Which of the following tables represents a linear function?

Answer 1

Table A, B and D are represents a linear function.

What is Equation of line?

The equation of line in point-slope form passing through the points

(x₁ , y₁) and (x₂, y₂) with slope m is defined as;

⇒ y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

Where, m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Given that;

There are 4 tables.

Now,

For Table A;

The equation of line is,

⇒ y - y₁ = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) (x - x₁)

⇒ y - 5 = (2 - 5) / (- 1 - (-2))  (x - (-2))

⇒ y - 5 = - 3/1 (x + 2)

⇒ y - 5 = - 3 (x + 2)

⇒ y - 5 = - 3x - 6

⇒ y = - 3x - 1

For Table B;

The equation of line is,

⇒ y - y₁ = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) (x - x₁)

⇒ y - 5 = (3 - 5) / (- 1 - (-2))  (x - (-2))

⇒ y - 5 = - 2/1 (x + 2)

⇒ y - 5 = - 2 (x + 2)

⇒ y - 5 = - 2x - 4

⇒ y = - 3x + 1

For Table C;

The equation of line is,

⇒ y - y₁ = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) (x - x₁)

⇒ y - (-2) = (- 1 - (-2)) / (3 - 3)  (x - 3)

⇒ y + 2 = 1/0 (x + 2)

⇒ y - 5 = ∞

Hence, It is not possible.

For Table D;

The equation of line is,

⇒ y - y₁ = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) (x - x₁)

⇒ y - 0 = (-1 - 0) / ( 1 - 0)  (x - 0)

⇒ y - 0 = - 1/1 (x)

⇒ y = - x

Thus, Table A, B and D are represents a linear function.
