Answer:

C is a linear function

Explanation:

To be a liner function, the change in y/ change in x must be constant

m =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

A

The x value does not change but has 4 different y values.This would fail the vertical line test. This is a vertical line so it is linear, but it is not a function


B (4-2)/(2-1) = 2

(8-4)/ (3-2) = 4/1

The slope changes between the points so it is not a line


C (6-8)/(1--1) = (-2)/(1+1) = -2/2 = -1

(4-6)/(3-1) = -2/2 = -1

(2-4) /(5-3) = -2/2 = -1

The slope is constant so it is a line


D (-2-2)/(-2--3) = -4/(-2+3) =-4/1 = -4

(4--2) / (-1--2) = (4+2)/(-1+2) = 6/1 = 6

The slope is not the same between these points so it is not linear
