Answer:

A. Nicole's hair grows at a rate of 1/2 in. per month.

B. Julian adds 5 laps to his swimming routine every week.

Explanation:

We are given a number of situations and we are to figure out whether which of them can be modeled by a linear function.

To begin with, I would like to define in simple words what a linear function is.

A function which which produces a straight line graph is said to be a linear function.

Here, the following two situations can be modeled by linear function:

A. Nicole's hair grows at a rate of 1/2 in. per month.

B. Julian adds 5 laps to his swimming routine every week.
