Which statement best explains whether the table represents a linear or nonlinear function?

Answer: A.) It is a linear function because there is a constant rate of change in both the input and output values.

============================================================

Explanation:

Note how x is decreasing by 3 each time

  • -2-3 = -5
  • -5-3 = -8
  • -8-3 = -11

At the same time, y is also decreasing by 3 each time

  • 7-3 = 4
  • 4-3 = 1
  • 1-3 = -2

This means we have a linear function. We have,

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

slope = (-3)/(-3)

slope = 1

Recall that slope is another term for rate of change, so a constant slope means we have a constant rate of change.

----------------

Another way to find the slope is to pick any two points from the table and use the slope formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

You should find that any two points you pick will lead to a slope of 1. I recommend you try out all possible pairs to help convince yourself the slope is 1.

Contestant and like terms. What do they mean?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Like Terms: terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. So like 5x plus 5x plus 5. 5x and 5x are like terms.

I'm going to assume you mean Constant instead of contestant so

Constant: Terms without variables

Example: 5x+2x+7

5x and 2x are like terms

7 is a Constant
