Answer: A linear function always has a rate of change.
Step-by-step explanation: In the first table, the function is linear since both the x and y values increases by a constant number. Each time the x value increases by 1, the y value increases by 5.
In the second table, the y value does not change by a constant number.
For example, the first time, the y value increases by 6, then it increased by 2, then by 4. This means the second table is non-linear since the rate of change isn't constant.
