Answer: No, it is not a linear function

Explanation:

We can see that it's a function because it passes the vertical line test, but it's not linear. To be linear, it needs to be one single straight line only (instead of composed of multiple pieces of different straight lines). This graph is considered a piecewise function.

So if your teacher asked "is this a function?" then the answer would be "yes". However, the "linear" portion is what makes the final answer "no".

A card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the theoretical probability as a decimal of drawing the number 8? Roun

Alborosie

The answer would be 0.15 because in a deck there are only 4 cards of 8 (diamonds, hearts, clovers, and spades). Since there are 52 cards, you would divide 8 by 52 to get 0.153846, but since it says to round to the nearest hundredths, the answer would be 0.15.
