Step-by-step explanation:
it is a linear function, if the increases in y are constant from point (ordered pair of x and y) to point reissue to the increase in x.
the first table (top left) increases x constantly by 1.
but y increases first by 2 and then by 3 and then again by 3.
this is not constant, so it does not follow the pattern of x.
in technical terms : the slope of the function is not the same for every point of the function.
in other words : it is not a straight line all the way.
so, it is not a linear function.
the second table (top right) increases x constantly by 2.
and y increases constantly by 2.
this is constant also in relation to x.
in technical terms : the slope of the function is the same for every point of the function.
in other words : it is a straight line all the way.
so, it is a linear function.
the third table (bottom left) increases x constantly by 1.
but y increases first by 4 and then by 1 and then again by 1.
this is not constant, so it does not follow the pattern of x.
in technical terms : the slope of the function is not the same for every point of the function.
in other words : it is not a straight line all the way.
so, it is not a linear function.
the fourth table (bottom right) increases x constantly by 2.
but y increases first by 2 and then by 3 and then again by 3.
this is not constant, so it does not follow the pattern of x.
in technical terms : the slope of the function is not the same for every point of the function.
in other words : it is not a straight line all the way.
so, it is not a linear function.
