Question

7. Which set of points could represent

Answer 1

Answer:

B ((2.-1), (5,3), (8, 7). (11.11 )}

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function:

The rate of change is always the same.

Item a:

x = 2 to x = 5 -> y = 1 to y = 3. Rate of change of 2/3.

x = 5 to x = 6 -> y = 3 to y = 7. Rate of change of 4.

Different rates of change, so not linear.

Item b:

We can look that for each point, when x changes by 3, y changes by 4, so the rate of change is the same and this set of points represents a linear function, and the answer is option b.
