Each time x goes up by 1, y also goes up by 1 as well.
slope = rise/run = 1/1 = 1
Or we can use the slope formula to get
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (3-2)/(2-1) = 1/1 = 1
I used the first two rows as the points to plug into the slope formula.
You can pick any two rows you want and you'll get the same slope value.

Because we get the same result of 1 each time, this means the rate of change is <u>constant</u> and this function is <u>linear</u>. Plotting all four points will show a single straight line goes through all of them. See diagram below.
