To calculate: To determine whether the table represents a linear or non-linear function and explain
Answer to Problem 29PT
Equation is a linear function
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Table is
x | y |
7 | -1 |
8 | 0 |
9 | 1 |
10 | 2 |
Formula Used:
Graph of linear equation is always a straight line while graph of non-linear equation is a curved line
Calculation:
Table is given as below:
x | y |
7 | -1 |
8 | 0 |
9 | 1 |
10 | 2 |
Plotting the points on graph:
Since graph of table is straight line, thus the equation is linear equation
Conclusion:
Hence, equation is linear equation.
