Answer:

The table A contains a set of non-linear ordered pairs.

Explanation:

To answer this question we have to recall what is the meaning of a linear ordered pair. As you can see, in every table there are 4 values for x, and 4 values for y. In every case, the set of values for x are


x=\{0, 1, 2, 3\}

but in every table, the values for y varies. Now, the key is to calculate the variation of these values, and in order to have a linear relation between x and y, the variation must be the same quantity for every y value that depend of each x value.

For example, in table B, the variation is +3, as from the first y value to the second, 3 is added... and this +3 variation must be the same for each new value of y (and as you can see, 4+3 is 7, 7+3 is 10, 10+3 is 13).

Keeping this in mind, the variation in table C is -2, and the variation in table D is +1, so tables B, C and D contains sets of linear ordered pairs.

To answer the question, we just have to realise that table A has differents variations in the values of y, and this means that it contains a set of non-linear ordered pairs, wich is the correct answer to the question.
