Question

Determine whether each table of values represents a linear function. For those that do not explain why not.

Answer 1

Table M does not represent a linear function, however table N does.

Explanation:

In table M, y does not have a constant rate of change in relation to x

(in table M, the x value of -3 is repeated and the y value is not constant with the x value of -3)

In table N, the y value has a constant rate of change of 6 corresponding to each x value.
