Question

Determine if the function is linear or nonlinear . EXPLAIN​

Answer 1

Answer:

it is not linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function means that same increments in x yield uniform increments in y.

First 2 lines: x grows from -5 to 0, so increment in x is 5. For said interval, y grows from 3 to 7, so increment in y is 4.

Then, x grows from 0 to 5, so increment in x is again 5. Now, for the same increase of x, y grows from 7 to 10, so increment now in y is 3.

In the first "5" interval of x, y grew 4, and in the second "5" interval of x y grew 3 ⇒ it is not linear.

The function would have been linear, if last y value had been 11.
