Answer:
The given statement is a True Statement.
Explanation:
We know that the slope or the rate of change of a function is defined as:
It is the ratio of change in the y-value to the change in the x-value.
or we may define it as a rate of change that compares a vertical change with horizontal change.
If the rate of change of a function is constant then it is a linear function.
and if it vary then it is a non linear function.
Hence, the statement is:
TRUE
