To calculate: To determine whether the table represents a linear or non-linear function and explain
Answer to Problem 36SR
Table is a linear function
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Table is
x | y |
9 | -2 |
11 | -8 |
13 | -14 |
15 | -20 |
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 |
9 | -2 |
11 | -8 |
13 | -14 |
15 | -20 |
Plotting the points on graph:
Since graph of table is a straight line, thus the equation islinear function
Conclusion:
Hence, table is linear function.
