Oa Nonlinear, As x increases by 1.5, y increases by a greater amount each time. The rate of change is not constant, so this function is
nonlinear
Ob. Linear; As x increases by 5, y increases by 4 each time. The rate of change is constant, so this function is linear.
Oc. Linear; As x increases by 5, y increases by 2 each time. The rate of change is constant, so this function is linear.
Od. Linear, As x increases by 1.5, y doubles each time. The rate of change is constant, so this function is linear.
