Hey there!
Linear functions have a continuous change.
Let's check these tables and see if we can tell linear functions from non-linear functions.
The first one is
- x values: -1, 0, 1, 2
- we add 1 each time
- y values: 8, 5, 2, -1
- we subtract 3 each time
Let's try the next one:
- x values: -1, 0, 1, 2
- we add 1 each time
- y values: 5, 10, 15, 20
- we add 5 each time
Let's try the third one:
- x values: -1, 0, 1, 2
- - we add 1 each time
- y values: 15, 18, 20, 21
- we add 3, then 2, then 1..
So this table doesn't represent a linear function.
Let's check the fourth one:
- x values: -1, 0, 1, 2
- we add 1 each time
- y values: 1, 2, 3, 4
- we add 1 each time
Thus, Option C is the right option.
Hope everything is clear.
