Question

Is the relationship shows by the data linear? If so, model the data with an equation.

A.) the relationship is no linear
B.) the relationship is linear; y - 5 = 2(x + 7)
C.) the relationship is linear; y - 5 = -1/2(x + 7)
D.) the relationship is linear; y + 7 = 1/2(x - 5)

Answer 1

Yes, B

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes the data is linear because there is a constant rate of change.

For x or the input the rate of change is plus 2

For y or the output the rate of change is plus 4

y/x is your slope so 4/2=2

and the only equation with a slope of 2 is B
