Question

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IN 5 MINUTES! solve this and explain

Answer 1

Answer:

no, it's not.

Step-by-step explanation:

300- 284 = 16

284 - 236 = 48

236 - 156 = 80

156 - 44 = 112

for every one the top line goes up, the bottom line changes too, but it's not at a constant rate. it's not constant, therefore it cannot be linear.

the rate of change formula (or slope formula, they're the same thing) is :

y2- y1/ x2 -x1 and to solve it you plug in the points. x is the same a t and y is h

284-300/ 1-0

-16 /1

-16 (this is the rate of change between the first two points)

236- 284/ 2-1

-48/ 1

-48 (rate of change between the second and third points)

since the rate of change isn't constant, it's not possible for it to be a linear relationship.
