Answer:

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin an indirect proof, you assume the converse of what you intend to prove is true. This is false.

Rather the correct answer is that to begin an indirect proof, you assume the inverse of what you intend to prove is true.

The converse can be either true or false, depending on what the original statement is, so assuming the converse is pointless.

Which table represents a linear function?

mart [117]

Well, a linear function is proportional, a straight line (on a graph). And the numbers must not have the same answer. For instance, if the X input is 5, and the Y output is 7. And then another X input is 5, and the Y output is 8, that's non-linear.

So, the Answer would be the third graph. This is because the X values are steadily increasing, and so are the Y values.

For the X and Y values, for each time X increases by 1, Y increases by -8. This is, linear because both sides are constantly and evenly increasing.
