First differences of the y-values for the consecutive x-values are ...
-3 -(-4.5) = 1.5
-1.5 -(-3) = 1.5
0 -(-1.5) = 1.5
1.5 -0 = 1.5
The first differences are constant, so the function is linear.

Since we know the function is linear, there's no real point in computing the ratios of successive outputs. In any event, we know it is not constant. The ratio with 0 as a numerator will be 0; the ratio with 0 as a denominator will be undefined.
Well scratch off A since $70 bills do not exist. answer C is also wrong and so is answer b and through all my calculatons answer D is the best choice in my opinion
