An equation that is linear:
1. When graphed, linear equations make a [straight] line (hence the name linear).
2. Have x exponents raised to the first power (in other words, if the x-value obtains exponents that are not 1 [Note: having 1 as an exponent is just like not having an exponent given that a number raised to the first power is still that number], it isn't linear) 

Proportional relationships can be modeled in the form y = mx where m equals the slope, or constant rate of change.

To find the slope take two ordered pairs and put them in form of x2-x1/y2-y1 and then you can find the slope.

(-2,17) (-3,20)

(-2)-(-3) = 1
(17)-(20)=-3

slope is 1/-3

Which of the following is a nonlinear function
pogonyaev

Answer:

Linear functions are equations where the greatest power of the variable (typically x) is 1;

They are graphed as straight lines;

So, any function that has the following format:

f(x) = ax + b;

Nonlinear functions would be any equation that has a variable to a power greater than 1;

This could be a quadratic equation or an exponential equation
