\begin{gathered} \text{Each car has 4 tires, so T=4c and the relationship is linear} \\ \text{if 1 pound of tangerine cost k dollars, then C=kp and the relationship is linear} \\ \text{ the temperature after m minutes of a pie is not linear, because first it is slow and then fast} \\ \text{ the value of earnings of a bank account after t years is P(1+r/n)}^(nt),\text{ thus, the relation is not linear} \end{gathered}
