Jordana drew the function below. Which statement correctly explains whether or not her function is linear?

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up.
It is linear because it has a constant rate of change.
It is linear because it does not have a constant rate of change.
It is not linear because it has a constant rate of change.
It is not linear because it does not have a constant rate of change.

Answer:

It is not linear because it does not have a constant rate of change

Explanation:

See attachment for Jordana's graph

From the attachment, it'll be observed that the graph has a curved line.

This means that the graph is not a linear and does not represent a linear function.

In functions, a linear representation has a constant slope (in other words, constant rate of change) while non linear representations do not.

So, since we've been able to establish that the graph is non linear, then we can conclude that the graph do not have a constant slope.

Base on the analysis above and from the list of given options, option (d) is correct.
