What is the difference between a linear function and a nonlinear function? Explain what each looks like when represented as a table and as a graph.

A linear function has a constant rate of change, while a nonlinear function does not. For a table of values to be linear, the outputs must have a constant rate of change as the inputs increase by 1. On a graph, the function must be a straight line to be linear.
